Love swimming? Rather than plough up and down your local pool, why not enjoy the beauty and freedom of swimming in open water, in the Lake District, the Norfolk Broads or cruising down the Thames in Oxfordshire. A swim guide, safety boat, overnight accommodation and luggage transfers are all included. 
Recommended tour operator: SwimTrek
SwimTrek says
If swimming in a pool or off a beach doesn’t quite do it for you, try one of our open water swimming breaks in the lakes and tarns of the Lake District, on the River Thames or the Norfolk Broads.
Our two- and three-day breaks are suitable for all standards, although you’ll need to be reasonably fit and a confident swimmer (we can supply pre-break training advice). The minimum age is 16 years and our maximum group size is 15. Each of our locations has been chosen for the quality of the water and surrounding scenery.
Prices are from £185 to £255 per person and include a full briefing and fully-qualified safety escort throughout, expert swimming technique analysis, baggage handling and accommodation with breakfast, and hearty picnic lunches each day.
Accommodation varies in each location and includes a country house hotel in the Lake District, a pub on the Thames and camping on the River Bure in Norfolk.
