We're passionate about swimming in this spectacular landscape and love sharing it with others. Join our friendly, experienced team and discover some of the most beautiful wild swimming locations the Lake District has to offer.
We offer a wide range of outdoor swimming experiences for all abilities. Whether you're dipping your toe in with a taster session, swimming out to an island, or enjoying a gentle river float on a guided wild swim, there's something for everyone. You can also join us for a full day of swimming and walking on our Adventure Swim Days, or extend your visit with one of our Adventure Swimming Mini-Breaks. For those new to the sport, we run popular Introduction to Open Water Swimming courses, as well as outdoor swim safety courses.
Our outdoor swimming shop in Ambleside is stocked with essential equipment and swimwear, and we offer a wetsuit fitting service to help you find the perfect fit.
We look forward to welcoming you — and seeing you in the water soon.
