Hi5 Reading Lake Swim Centre

Step into a venue steeped in history, where the UK’s very first triathlon took place back in 1983. Hi5 Reading Lake has been a hub for open water swimming, multi-sport events, and water-based adventures ever since. Spread across a scenic 50-acre site, it offers swimmers the freedom to explore marked 500m and 750m loops, all under the watchful eyes of lifeguards. Whether you’re honing your technique, preparing for a triathlon, or simply enjoying the thrill of open water, this lake provides a safe and inspiring environment.

The setting is vibrant yet relaxed, perfect for those who love the outdoors and water sports alike. Beyond swimming, the venue pulses with energy – wakeboarding, water skiing, and even parties bring excitement to the shores. After your swim, changing facilities, showers, and a shop make it easy to refresh and prepare for your next adventure. Hi5 Reading Lake isn’t just a swim – it’s a community and a playground for everyone who loves the water.
