TUESDAYS

Lake Dip PLUS Polar Bear Challenge

In addition to the gentle, open water dip zone, we’ve set up a separate 125 metre course, perfect for those participating in the Polar Bear and Penguin challenges.

Conquer the Polar Challenge course and bask in the camaraderie of the Lake Dip, as we make sure you get everything you need from your swim.

It’s the ultimate cold-water plunge!

SUNDAYS

Sunday Swim Spectacle

The winter chill won’t stop us – Dip, Go Polar or… Brave the Buoys!

On Sunday mornings, join us for an epic Lake Swim adventure as we brave the elements.

Just like Tuesdays you can choose to Dip in the usual zone, or take on the Polar Challenge course, but on Sundays, the intrepid among you are also welcome to train by swimming the Yellow Buoy course – as long as the weather and spirit of our swimmers allow.

Lake Swimming

With its sheltered, peaceful location and clean, fresh water, Trevassack Lake is lovely for open water swimming, all year round.

Whether you’re a recent chlorine convert or have plenty of experience in Cornwall’s wild waterways, we’d love to welcome you to Trevassack Lake. Whilst in the water, marked areas will guide you to swim where suitable for your session, be it a quick dip or triathlon training around the lake’s edge. 

We have changing rooms, warm showers and toilets available for use, included in your price. The waterside cafe is perfect for warming up with a coffee and cake after your swim!

By swimming at Trevassack Lake, you’ll not only spend time immersed in nature, reaping the benefits that wild swimming can bring to your mental and physical health, you’ll also be supporting the work of Children’s Sailing Trust to create affordable and accessible watersports in Cornwall.
