Swimming Membership

 

Summer Membership

Membership is currently full. We have room for 4000 full and weekday members who renew their membership each year and can attend from May to October (reduced opening). Any memberships that are not renewed are offered to those on the waiting list. 

We have a waiting list of approximately 3500. If you are on the waiting list, we offer you Community Access. This is a pay as you go scheme which allows limited access during quieter times whilst you wait for a membership place. In 2025 Community access will be increased but limited to 4000.

Waiting List update for 2025

The waiting list is closed, we will not be opening the waiting list in 2025 unfortunately. The Club recently reviewed how the waiting list process works and we will continue to offer Community Access spaces in date order to those who applied in 2023, rather than open the waiting list again and use a ballot system. This is felt the fairest process considering the enormous demand for places and limited number of spaces that we are able to safely accommodate.

Winter Membership

Adult full members and Community access users are able to apply for winter swimming in October each year providing they have already completed a swim test.

Guests

Adult members and Community Access (18 and over) can bring a maximum of two guests to the Lake. Junior guests must demonstrate the ability to swim 50 metres by taking a swimming test at the Lake at their first visit each season. During periods of exceptional demand, guest spaces for community access will be limited.

The lake is only suitable for competent swimmers and passing a 50-metre swimming test is an essential requirement for membership.
