Milton Country Park

Nestled in the heart of Cambridgeshire, Milton Country Park offers a serene escape for open water swimmers of all levels. Whether you’re a novice testing the waters or a triathlete in training, the gently sloping beach entry at Todd’s Pit allows you to ease into the lake at your own pace, enjoying that unmistakable wild swim feel. In the summer, the water warms quickly, inviting longer loops across the 350m course, while winter swims use a cozy 100m loop to keep sessions manageable yet invigorating.

This venue balances adventure with safety, providing both on-shore and on-water cover, so you can focus on the joy of swimming while feeling secure. The environment is friendly and communal – swimmers are encouraged to acclimatize, explore, and respect fellow users. First timers are welcomed warmly by the safety team, who will guide you through local rules and ensure you feel confident before taking the plunge.

After your swim, changing facilities, a café, and parking (including disabled access) make it easy to refresh and relax. Milton Country Park isn’t just a swim; it’s an opportunity to connect with nature, improve your technique, and enjoy the simple pleasure of gliding through open water.
