ICY DIP Cold Water Swim Event 

Are you brave enough to take the plunge?  Get ready for our cold water season opener event.  Join us at the stunning Cleveland Lakes Nature Reserve for an unforgettable morning of icy swims, competition, laughter, silly hats and maybe a few goosebumps! 

This is your chance to swim in our exclusive lake, usually closed to the public and to experience the raw thrill of cold water swimming.  No hot tubs, no jacuzzis, no pampering... just you, the open water and the buzz of fellow swimmers.  

What's happening?  

• Open Water Races - Buoy-marked course.


• Relay Race - Wait For Your Mate.  A 2-person event where swimmers wait in the water until they have both completed their 50m swims. 


• Best Hat Swim (non-competitive).  Unleash your creativity! Wear your quirkiest, brightest, or funniest hat while swimming. (Think bold, wild, and whimsical!) & you might just win a prize....


• General Swim (post competitive races) Don't want to race? No problem.  After the events, the lake will remain open for a 45 minute dip. 

*There will be a separate registration time for the General Swim tickets at approximately 1 p.m.  Details will be confirmed nearer event date.
