Open Water SwimmingWhether you have been open water swimming for years or just fancy giving it a go, Bray Lake is a great place to swim. It doesn't matter whether its your first time or whether you are a seasoned professional you will always get a friendly welcome, a great cup of coffee or tea and get to swim with a bunch of like minded people. Bray Lake swimming is friendly and safe, yet challenging if you need it to be with a variety of distances and exposure.
At Bray Lake Open Water Swimming Centre we pride ourselves on our friendly and approachable atmosphere and welcome open water swimmers and triathletes of all abilities. If you are new to open water swimming or are unsure of your ability you should be confident to swim a minimum of 250m unaided. For those who aren't we run regular Intro To Open Water Swim courses, please contact us for more information. Our onsite swim professionals also run regular clinics and coaching sessions for all levels from novice to pro.
Due to Covid-19 we have made some changes to our swim operation and all customers must make themselves aware of the current rules and guidelines before coming to the lake. Please click on the Covid-19 Guidelines for our latest update.
All swims must be pre-booked online, please do not turn up without a booking as you will not be admitted to swim. Booking is available 10 days in advance for paid members and 7 days in advance for Friends of Bray Lake. Please be aware wetsuit rental is not available at this time.
