The lake

At the heart of Lake Yis the lake itself.

Clear, calm and carefully kept, it sets the pace for everything around it. In summer, long swims and slow afternoons by the shore. In winter, something more invigorating.

01 · A day here

Six ways to spend a day. Or none.

There’s no prescribed way to spend a day here. Some are about movement, others about slowing down. Usually a little of both.

Or do none of it, and spend the afternoon by the water. That works too.

02 · The club

A club built round a lake.

Lifeguarded swims. Properly made coffee. Coaching if you want it. A reception that knows your name before long. The club exists so that people spend time together.

Two courses, one lake.

A 200m course and a 400m course, lifeguarded sessions and cold water all year. Saturday 9am is the busy one.

A community as much as a place.

The calendar brings members together. Golden-hour Summer Fridays, Full Moon Swims, floating yoga, live music. The kind of things you arrive for and end up staying a little longer.

The Wheelhouse

A club to make your own.

Come for an early swim. Stay for lunch. Meet friends for padel. Or find a spot by the lake and do very little at all. Every prospective member gets one trial pass for one day before applying.

07 · Try Lake Y

A day by the water, before making it part of your week.

The pass is one day. Activities aren’t included, and they are booked and paid for separately, at the standard rate, except padel, where members get a discount. Lake Dips, Summer Fridays and member socials are members-only. One per person, once. If it fits, apply. If not, the coffee was still good.
