Blenheim Palace Lake Trial Swim
Our first trial swim at Blenheim Palace Lake went swimmingly.
We are always excited to be involved in projects that enable more water, for more people, more safely. Over the past 12 months we have supported the introduction of open water swimming at Blenheim Palace Lake, Oxfordshire. Bringing open water swimming to such a high profile location has its challenges but NOWCA are experienced in finding solutions that can deliver a safe and enjoyable experience for the community.
Collaborating with a local operator and the Blenheim Palace team, we aim to deliver a vision – for Blenheim Palace Lake to be a safe and accessible venue to open water swimmers on a more regular basis.
On 21 May 2024, we hosted our first trial swim at Blenheim Palace Lake. The session was limited to 50 swimmers and sold out in 24 minutes! At the trial swim we were able to demonstrate how our safety system enable staff to prioritise and manage swimmer safety. With the right planning and support, our shared vision could soon become a reality!
Feedback from the trial swim has been overwhelmingly positive and discussions have already begun for a second trial swim.
