The Finsthwaite Wild Swim

About

Our Finsthwaite Wild Swim is an easy-paced swim walk taking us from the village of Finsthwaite, through some lovely woodland to our secluded swimming spot. Swim the Lakes regulars will enjoy the change of scene here, it is a little local spot and we know you'll enjoy swimming here.

Swimming here is a real treat; it is sheltered and fringed with lilies and the peaty water makes the best tea

This is an ideal trip for anyone who has done a bit of open-water swimming and who also enjoys a bit of walking. Our friendly guides will ensure your safety and make sure you enjoy your day out.
