Bray Lake

Whether you have been open water swimming for years, just like the idea of swimming outdoors or you are doing your first triathlon, Bray Lake is the ideal place to swim. Friendly and safe, yet challenging if you need it to be with a variety of distances and exposure. Be warned though, open water swimming is very addictive.

Special event – 22 December, annual inflatable animals swim!

Open for winter swimming Saturday and Sunday mornings, give us a call or check our website for details.
