How to book
Members book in the Lake Y app. Guest passes must be booked in advance and cannot be used on arrival. Trial pass activities are booked and paid for separately, at the standard rate, except padel, where members get a discount.
Safety & requirementsA swim cap is required at all times. Wetsuits are optional. A tow float is required without a wetsuit. Safety briefing before the first session. Dynamic risk assessment every session. The swim team’s decision is final. No alcohol before entry. Swimmers under 18 complete a swim assessment before they can enter the water. Under-18s can't swim when the lake is 15°C or below, as that counts as cold-water swimming.
