Open water swimming is an extreme sport even in warm weather, so you are required to have attended an Ocean Walker Academy Induction Course to be able to participate in these swim sessions - please find out more below.
*hot drinks/cakes/refreshments to be purchased onsite (you cannot bring your own).
Our special BOXING DAY and NEW YEARS DAY swim is an opportunity for non-Winter Club open water swimmers to come and have a dip with us. You must be a competant open water swimmer and you will receive a briefing from our lifeguard before you go into the water and adhere to their advice before, during and after your swim. You can book this by scrolling down the page and clicking on BOOK WINTER SWIM, then selecting either 26th December or 1st Jan dates. Please ensure you read our terms and conditions before you book onto this session.
SAUNA and LAKE DIP - NOW LIVE
Our spacious Sauna is available to book as a separate option to Winter Club, so if you fancy a quick dip followed by the warmth of a Sauna, why not try our SAUNA & LAKE DIP option.
Or have your usual Winter Club swim, warm up with a hot drink in our barn and then once you have recovered, have a SAUNA ONLY session!
For your health and safety, you are not permitted to swim the Winter Club route as part of a SAUNA & LAKE DIP session. Recommended Sauna time: 10mins followed by a Lake Dip time: 2mins and repeat as required.
Our Wellbeing Barn is open as usual for drinks after your session.
HOW TO BOOK:
SAUNA & LAKE DIP = £20 (1hr duration)
SAUNA ONLY = £15 (1hr duration)
All bookings for SAUNA to be done online via the crystallakeview website
Please read full details on the CLV website about what is included in each type of booking.

You must attend this course to be able to attend our Winter Club. Even if you are an experienced cold water swimmer - we still need to see you in action prior to turning up and swimming. It is important that we know what level everyone is at, to ensure your safety during your time at our lake.
Confident pool swimmers are welcome.
The course is 1hr 30mins total, and is part theory, part swim.
You will learn about what to expect from cold water immersion, how to enter and exit the water safely, how to recover and what equipment you will require.
You will be shown the course and be advised of all facilities available to you and how the sessions will run.
