A Buoyancy Aid must be worn at all times by all participants to ensure anyone in difficulty remains on the surface and can be seen.
If launching your own equipment and have forgotten to bring your own, buoyancy aids can be hired for £2.50.
The lake offers a safe environment for water activities which have been risk assessed.
These are the only activities allowed.
A wetsuit is not compulsory but we recommend wearing us a wetsuit as bare skin may be susceptible to "Swimmers Itch" especially on hot summer days.
Not everyone reacts to this but is the reason we advise wearing a wetsuit. Also a water resistant sun screen can help as well as towelling off when leaving the water. Avoid shallow areas at the side of the lake.
