Call to book lessons. Tips when open water swimming Swimming in tarns, lakes and rivers is great fun, and a wonderful way to experience the Lake District landscape. However it's important to stay safe. Swim Safe Code Be seen in the water and have support Never swim after drinking or taking drugs. Wear a bright swim cap and tow a bright float. Never swim alone. Swimmers may be able to see boaters but boaters may not be able to see swimmers! The deep lakes and tarns in the Lake District can be cold, even on a hot summers day. Exposure to cool water can rapidly lead to hypothermia, and the early signs like struggling to move your hands, can make swimming more difficult than normal. There can be rocks and hazards under the water that you can't see, and the water may be shallower than you think near jetties. Enter the water slowly to get used to it. Check the depth and the water bed by walking in carefully. Work out where you will exit the water easily. Don't stay in too long if you are not used to cold water. Wear a wetsuit to keep you warmer and more buoyant. Swim along the shoreline so you can get out easily if you need to. Have lots of layers, a hat, and a warm drink ready for when you get out of the water, even in summer. Look out for blue-green algae Blue-Green Algae occurs naturally in fresh water lakes, and becomes more likely during periods of warm, dry weather. It can pose a small risk to human health, but can be lethal for dogs if they come into contact with it. Be mindful to other water users Choose one of the quieter lakes that do not allow boats. Avoid mooring areas, marinas and jetties used by boats, ferry routes and boating channels. Be aware boaters may be in any area of the lake at any time of day or night. Only swim when weather conditions are suitable - remember they can change quickly. Quieter lakes best for swimming These lakes have no motor boats, but may have rowing boats, canoes and kayaks: Bassenthwaite (may have some motor boats and no diving allowed) Buttermere Crummock Water Grasmere Loweswater Rydal Water Wast Water There are also lots of quiet tarns and rivers which can be great places for a dip. Just beware that tarns are generally cooler than lakes, and can be very cold even on a hot summers day! Busier lakes These lakes all have motor boats, sailing boats and other craft: Windermere Ullswater Coniston Water Derwentwater In these busier lakes, we recommend picking a swim route along the shoreline, so you're less likely to be in the path of boats and cruisers. Its also important to make yourself as visible as possible. Wear a bright hat, have a tow float and have a support craft like a kayak or paddleboard, to keep safe and enjoy your swimming. Swimming not allowed Swimming is not allowed in Ennerdale Water, Haweswater resevoir, Thirlmere resevoir and Kentmere resevoir.
