WILD SWIMMING IN THE LAKE DISTRICT

Formed by glaciation, Ullswater has excellent water quality, perfect for wild swimming. There’s plenty of it too. Islands and beaches pepper it’s seven mile in length, satisfying even the biggest appetites for exploration.

Join a guided swim when you stay with us, or borrow a swim wetsuit and get going at your own pace.

Start a wild swimming adventure on Ullswater with Colin Hill, a local open-water swimmer, who’s in the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame and English Channel soloist. Suitable for all abilities.

Borrow a wetsuit and float from the Sheep Shed and swim from our jetty along our shoreline. Or, head further into the lake with these suggested swims and our essential guidelines to ensure you swim safely.
