Open Water Swimming

Enjoy a refreshing open water swim at Aztec Adventure Upton Warren. The lake is stream-fed and the water is regularly tested for water quality. All our sessions are supervised with lifeguards both on and off the water.

All swim courses are to be swam in a 'clockwise' direction around the lake. Changing rooms and showers are available.

Please note that the water temperature must be at least 11.5°C for us to run these sessions.

All swimmers must wear a brightly coloured swimming hat, and we strongly recommend that tow floats be worn by all swimmers.

If you wish to wear a wetsuit, a well-fitting one will provide both warmth and buoyancy.

If the water temperature is under 16°C wearing a wetsuit is compulsory. However, everyone's tolerance to cold water varies, and if the water temperature is above 16°C, you may still find it colder than expected, especially if you are new to open water swimming. Please see our facebook page for updates on the water temperature.
