About

A private wild swim/sauna experience located at Wasing Estate in Berkshire where you are spend 2 hours alternating between dipping in the lake and warming up in the sauna before enjoying a vegan lunch around a campfire. Their sessions are approx. £45-£60 and take place on the first Sunday of each month for non-members. They only allow 12 people at a time so sessions can sell out very quickly!

Plan your swim

Before you go

  • Cold water shock is real. Enter slowly and control your breathing.
  • Lake water can be much colder below the surface (thermocline)
  • Stay close to shore until you know the conditions
  • Watch for boat traffic and stay visible with a tow float
  • Check for blue-green algae warnings before swimming

Conditions change fast. Always check the latest data, read recent community reports, and swim within your ability.

Frequently asked questions

Is this lake safe for swimming?

Check the Conditions tab for surface state and wind conditions. Review the Quality tab if this is a designated bathing water. Always read recent community reports for local advice.

How cold is the water?

Check the Temperature tab for the current estimate and 7-day trend. Lakes hold heat longer than rivers but can develop a thermocline. The water below the surface can be dramatically colder.

What should I bring?

A tow float for visibility (especially important where boats operate), warm layers for after, and consider a wetsuit in colder months. Check for designated swimming areas.
