How To Book a Swim

Swillington Wilds is a members-only swimming and sauna space set within the parkland of Swillington Farm.

Membership is required to access the site and book swim or sauna sessions.

By creating a member-only space, it allows us to manage numbers carefully and preserve the calm, natural atmosphere that makes the space special.

Step into cold, clean water and find your rhythm with the seasons.

Our first lake is now open to members for year-round wild swimming, set within the peaceful parkland of Swillington Farm. It’s a quiet, natural space designed for people who want to swim regularly, build resilience, and reconnect with the outdoors.

There are no lanes, no chlorine, and no rush – just water, weather, and time to breathe.

Why Swim Wild

Wild swimming is more than just movement. It’s a grounding practice that builds both physical and mental strength.

  • Supports circulation and immune function

  • Reduces stress and brings mental clarity

  • Can improve sleep, energy and focus

  • Offers a deeper connection with the natural world

Regular cold water immersion has been shown to stimulate endorphins, support emotional resilience, and offer a powerful reset for the nervous system. Many swimmers leave the lake feeling calmer, more alive, and more present. Read more in this blog.
