Welcome to Wyresdale Park, where nature and swimming come together for an unforgettable aquatic adventure. As you approach the jetty on December 22, 2026, prepare to leave your belongings behind—storage boxes are available if it's raining—and be greeted by a friendly staff member who will provide essential instructions. Wetsuits can be hired for £10 but must be reserved in advance; otherwise, they aren't kept onsite. Tow floats are mandatory and readily available at the jetty. Once you enter the water, remember to lie on your back if assistance is needed—raising an arm or shouting for help will ensure a safety kayaker comes to aid. During summer months, swimmers can earn badges like "My First Swim" or "Swam Through Winter." Circuits around the lake are marked with buoys; each circuit measures roughly 400 meters. Avoid swimming between blue buoys and the shore as they mark shallow fishing areas with potential hazards. Brightly colored swim caps enhance visibility, especially in winter when bobble hats become essential for warmth. Changing facilities aren't available on site, so arrive wearing your swimsuit or change discreetly at your vehicle before entering the water. For those driving, parking is plentiful near Wyresdale Park’s main entrance, with additional overflow parking over a small bridge and through a woodland footpath leading to the lake. The Applestore Café offers refreshments nearby, along with outdoor toilets behind it and indoor facilities inside the building. Public transport options include Stagecoach 40 from Preston Station, which takes about 45 minutes before reaching Cabus Gubberford Lane. For more information or updates, follow Attitude Swim Coaching on Facebook and Instagram, as well as Wyresdale Swims for event notices and photos. Enjoy your swim in the serene setting of Wyresdale Park!
