Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of Wyresdale Park for an unforgettable open-water swimming adventure. On October 25, 2026, you'll start your journey at the park's jetty, where staff will welcome you and provide essential instructions before handing out tow floats if needed. The lake offers a tranquil setting with clear waters ideal for both casual swims and more ambitious circuits. During summer months, swimmers can earn badges like "My First Swim" or "Swam Through Winter," adding an element of achievement to your experience. The water is home to safety kayakers who will assist you if you encounter any difficulties. Wetsuits are available by prior request for a fee of £10 but must be booked in advance as they aren't kept on-site. Tow floats, however, are mandatory and can be borrowed at the jetty. Swimmers are encouraged to wear bright-colored hats or bobble hats during colder months to enhance visibility. The course features blue buoys marking shallow areas near the shore where fishing lines may pose a hazard; avoid swimming between these markers for safety. Each circuit is approximately 400 meters, making it easy to track your progress as you swim around the lake. Upon arrival at Wyresdale Park, parking and changing facilities are limited, so arrive dressed in your swimsuit or change quickly within your vehicle. The Applestore Café offers a convenient spot to relax before or after your swim, with toilets located nearby both inside and outside the café building. For those traveling by car, detailed directions from Preston and Lancaster guide you through Gubberford Lane and Snowhill Lane towards Wyresdale Park’s main entrance. An overflow parking area is also available via a woodland footpath near the lake. Join us for an experience that combines natural beauty with community spirit at Wyresdale Park.
