Start your day like never before with an early morning swim in the peaceful waters of Derwentwater. This unique session gives you the chance to experience the Lake District at its quietest, as the sun rises over the landscape and nature begins to stir. With a small group and a qualified coach, you’ll enjoy an unforgettable swim, surrounded by birdsong and the beauty of the lakeside.
The swim is as much about soaking in the environment as it is about the swimming. As the sun breaks over the eastern skyline, you will witness the beauty of the water, with rays highlighting the plants and marine life beneath the surface. After completing your swim, a welcoming hot drink and breakfast will be waiting for you to enjoy, adding to the charm of this early morning adventure.
A good level of swimming fitness is necessary to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, as the swim takes place in open water, away from the safety of swimming pools.
The coach, Neil, brings a wealth of experience, having mentored athletes at the highest levels of triathlon and coached over 500 individuals with British Triathlon. His passion for open water swimming and dedication to fostering a safe, inclusive environment is evident in every session he runs. This level of expertise, combined with the stunning location and small group sizes, makes these sessions a great choice for anyone looking to enjoy the Lake District from the water.
Neil was great…guided us clearly and encouraged us before, during and after. We felt safe and confident due to his presence and had a really enjoyable time. We were a bit nervous at first but are so glad that we did it. What a fantastic experience.
