Welcome to Wyresdale Park, where nature and swimming converge for an unforgettable aquatic adventure. Nestled along the tranquil shores of its picturesque lake, this venue offers a serene backdrop for swimmers of all levels. Upon arrival at the jetty, you’ll find storage boxes and hooks if needed, allowing you to leave your belongings safely as you prepare for your swim. Staff members are on hand to welcome participants and provide any necessary instructions, including information about safety measures such as compulsory tow floats and optional wetsuits available by prior request. The lake is dotted with buoys during the summer months, marking circuits that each measure roughly 400 meters—four laps make up a mile. Swimmers are advised to stay clear of blue buoys near shallow fishing areas. If you encounter any difficulties in the water, simply lie on your back and raise an arm for assistance; safety kayakers will promptly respond. Facilities include parking spaces and the Applestore Café nearby, where participants can grab refreshments before or after their swim. Additional toilets are located behind the café, with more inside a building to the right of these facilities. For those driving in from Preston via Gubberford Lane or Lancaster through Station Lane, clear directions guide you directly to Wyresdale Park. Swimmers should arrive dressed for the water as there are no changing rooms on site. The park's Facebook and Instagram pages offer further information about upcoming events and safety tips, while reviews can be left on Trust Pilot if your experience is positive. Join us at Wyresdale Park on November 6, 2026, for a memorable day of swimming amidst stunning natural beauty. Enjoy the serene waters and scenic surroundings as you immerse yourself in this unique aquatic event.
