Autumn Swimming at Pool Bridge Farm
Weather Update 23.10.26: We don't expect to close this weekend due to weather conditions, so please come along as planned. If anything changes or we feel the venue will not be safe to operate, we will update this page and email everyone who has a booking. We are an outdoor venue, so please come prepared for the elements!
Pool Bridge Farm offers four stunning, peaceful and unique lakes for wild swimmers, five wood-fired saunas, and a wellness Tipi - all nestled amidst nature, yet only 10 minutes from York city centre. It’s a place where you can connect with nature, step away from the chaos of everyday life and simply relax. We are not a supervised lake, and there are no lifeguards; however, we are a community of like-minded people who find joy in swimming in cold, clean water amongst the stunning nature and wildlife that calls PBF home.
Please note, we are now closed to children for Winter.
We have four lakes on site: The Monet Lake is a tranquil lake where you can swim amongst the beautiful lilies before they retreat for winter. The M Lake is where you will find our five wood-fired saunas that can be pre-booked, making your visit to us extra special. The Horseshoe Lake offers a stunning 300m circuit with a good chance of seeing a kingfisher if you keep your eyes peeled.
Paddleboarding finishes at the end of October, and very soon the Q Lake will see the end of the summer fun and once again revert to a space of tranquillity and healing where sunrises and sunsets - and all in between - will touch your soul.
A few things to note this AUTUMN:
We are open for adult day ticket holders from 8am-8pm; the lakes close at 7:45 pm, and all customers must be off-site by 8pm.
We are a non-lifeguarded venue; whilst we have comprehensive safety measures in place, swimming is unsupervised and at your own risk. Make sure you know where the life rings and air horns are located. Our ‘health and safety’ page has some really useful links for further information about continuing to swim as the temperature drops: https://www.poolbridge.co.uk/coldwater
Other than guide dogs and our own family dogs, we do not allow dogs to visit the site. This helps keep our precious wildlife safe.
