🌊 A Huge Thank You to Our Guest Swimmers! 🌊
We would like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who joined us for our invitation-only swim session at Hanworth Country Park and took the time to provide feedback on our new swimming lake.
The response has been fantastic, with swimmers praising the quality of the water, the peaceful surroundings, and the huge potential the lake offers for open water swimming, paddle boarding, fitness training, cold water immersion, and general wellbeing.
We also received some valuable suggestions regarding a few minor safety improvements, which we will be carrying out before opening the lake to the wider public. Your feedback has been incredibly helpful and will play an important role in ensuring we provide the safest and best possible experience for everyone.
Following discussions with many of the swimmers on the day, it became clear just how excited people are about what Hanworth Country Park can offer. The combination of open water swimming, paddle boarding, heated shower facilities, beautiful countryside surroundings, and the planned addition of a sauna before Winter 2026 creates a fantastic opportunity for those looking to embrace the benefits of hot and cold water therapy.
It was also great to welcome the lovely Calley back to the park. Calley is a fully qualified lifeguard and will be on duty during our organised swimming sessions, helping to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone using the lake.
Looking ahead, we are also exploring the possibility of developing a triathlon training facility, making use of the park’s extensive grounds and unique outdoor environment. With swimming, running routes, open spaces, and wellbeing-focused facilities, Hanworth Country Park has the potential to become a destination for swimmers, paddle boarders, fitness enthusiasts, cold water swimmers, and anyone looking to improve their physical and mental wellbeing.
Subject to the completion of the final safety improvements, we are aiming to open the lake for public bookings from 20th June 2026. Further details regarding booking procedures, session times, and safety requirements will be announced shortly.
Thank you once again to everyone who attended, offered feedback, and helped shape the future of this exciting new facility. We look forward to welcoming you back to the lake very soon.
