The UK’s best outdoor swim spots

Lake Windermere, Lake District

The Lake District is a frequent haunt for nature lovers and swimmers alike, and for good reason. Lake Windermere is a lovely destination for a spot of swimming on a hot summer’s day, surrounded by beautiful scenery. You need to make sure that you take the necessary safety precautions, such as wearing a bright swimming cap, so that sailers cruising around in nearby boats can see you. As well as swimming, you can also make the most of Lake Windermere by going paddling in a kayak or canoe or cycling through the nearby woodlands.
