Plans to trial a new pilot event called the Carsington Island Swim will take place 11th July 2024, providing the unique opportunity to swim in the reservoir for the first time.
Open water swimming is a unique and exhilarating sport that takes swimmers out of the controlled environment of pools and into the natural elements of lakes, rivers, and oceans. It's a challenging but rewarding endeavour that connects individuals with nature and pushes their physical and mental limits.
Open water swimming offers an experience like no other. Unlike swimming in a pool, where the conditions are predictable, open water swimmers must navigate the variables of temperature, weather, currents, and wildlife. This unpredictability adds a sense of adventure and freedom to the sport.
Knockerdown Holiday Cottages are located in Derbyshire within an easy short walk of Carsington Water which is a stunning reservoir and already a popular spot for water sports enthusiasts. Surrounded by picturesque landscapes, it offers a perfect setting for both beginners and seasoned swimmers to indulge in their passion.
