Wimbleball Lake Swims

Swim in Wimbleball Lake’s rare open-water event with four race distances, finisher medals, chip timing, silicone swim hats and part of the Wimbleball Sports Festival where triathlons, running races and cycle sportives take place.

It’s a superb swimming venue where swimming is not normally permitted, which has regularly hosted the Exmoor Open Water Swim in the past.

There is plenty of camping at Wimbleball Lake, so why not make a weekend of it? There's plenty to keep the whole family entertained.
