Get away from it all at South lake. Whatever your day has been the friendly welcome and conversations before the getaway from it all swim will make you happy. The lake is easy accessible from the A1, free parking and a great facility with hot showers. You’re greeted by the fantasist team. The water is very clear most swims and the weed is kept well under control. This lake and team allowed me to train for my first triathlon and now gives me the perfect lake to swim for pleasure and getaway from it all.

Southlake is the best place to swim! You can't find a more welcoming friendly space! The lake itself is fantastic, surrounded by natural beauty and a great size for swimming. Its really nice to have an easy access spot for getting in and out without having to fight muddy banks! Cafe always has great food (even for a gluten free vegan like me!!)

Always receive a warm welcome (whatever the water temperature 😂) at South Lake . The swimming is fabulous in clear, clean unpolluted water. Ali’s bacon butties at the cafe are an absolute treat. All in all a wonderful place to enjoy open water swimming.
