Open Water Swimming

Hidden Dips

Wild swimming is one of the latest outdoor crazes to sweep the UK, but here in the Lake District, we’ve been swimming in lakes, tarns, pools, kails and pots for years.

There are tons of places to swim, jump or just plain dip in the lake district some are well known and now get a little busy in peak periods, others are lesser known, some a little harder to access, or generally take a little more effort to find. We’ve listed a few here for you but there are many, many more to find if you’re willing to walk and happy to explore.
