Winter Swimming at Pool Bridge Farm

Pool Bridge Farm offers four stunning, peaceful and unique lakes for wild swimmers, nestled amidst nature, yet only 10 minutes from York city centre. We are a place where you can connect with nature, step away from the chaos of everyday life and relax. Over winter all of the lakes are adults only. You can bring the little ones back next spring when the water temperatures rise again. The Monet Lake is a tranquil lake where you can swim amongst the beautiful flowering lilies. The M Lake is where you will find our three wood-fired saunas that can be pre-booked. The Horseshoe Lake offers a beautiful 300m circuit. The Q lake is our newest and largest lake, open to families throughout the warmer months, but over winter can be used by those wishing to challenge themselves to a longer swim.

A few things to note this winter:

To help manage numbers and car parking, all tickets must purchased online before arriving. If there are no tickets available we are sold out. However, we don’t expect this to happen over the colder months.

Other than guide dogs, we do not allow dogs to visit the site.

The safety and privacy of our customers is a priority to us. Therefore we politley request that you do not come for a ‘look around’.

No under 18’s over winter. With the exception of 16+ may be allowed to use the sauna and dip when with a responsible guardian.

Paddle-boarding sessions must always be booked, but will stop at the end of October.

If you are new to cold water swimming - please do your own research before visiting us and bring appropriate clothing and equipment.
