Open Water Fitness Sessions at Stubbers Lake

7am to 08:45am Every Saturday  26th April –  27th September 2025


We have improved access and egress from the lake by moving the open water swimming to the Coys lake beach in the main adventure park.

For operational reasons swimmings will need to be clear of the water by 08:45 not 09:00 as previously advertised

Access will be through the Welcome centre. Please note that adult visitors with
out a swim booking will not be admitted to the park without payment of  an admission fee (payable on entry)

 

Our fitness requirements
Open water fitness sessions are an un-coached, unled session that allows you to practice your open-water swimming at your own pace, completing as many laps of the lake as you like within the times specified. The sessions are  for swimmers who are confident and competent swimming in open-water. You will need to be able to swim 500m without stopping.  Swimmers unable to demonstrate a safe level of swimming competency will be removed from the session without refund.

Swimmers must be aged 18 years or over. Professional swim coaches are welcome to call us to discuss bringing younger students.

Children

This session is not suitable for children.  

Safety First
You must wear a wetsuit (Stubbers do not loan wetsuits). To assist us with safety monitoring, you will also need to wear a brightly coloured  swim hat.  Stubbers will have hats for sale on the day. Swim floats are recommended.

All swimmers will be checked in and out of the water at a single access point using wristbands to identify individuals.

Safety spotters will be on the lake on paddle boards, kayaks and rescue motorboat.


Amenities
Male / Female changing area is at the beach. A shower and toilet block are available in the park


The Source Coffee shop will be open from 0800 for hot and cold drinks and snacks including bacon and sausage butties. Card only please.

Registration

Main gate opens at 6:45 am.
