🤎 HELLO, SAUNA SEASON 🤎

The days are getting cooler, the evenings are drawing in… and suddenly, there’s nowhere quite like a warm sauna after a swim.

Cold water. Hot sauna. Fresh air.
That’s our kind of autumn ritual.

Our sauna sessions are now booking up, so if you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to add a little more warmth to your wild swimming, this is your sign.

And… we might have a little more warmth on the way

Let’s just say there are new saunas coming to Whitmore Lakes very soon…

Who’s ready for sauna season? 🫶🏼

Preparing for colder water and the winter months?

As the temperature at Whitmore Lakes drops, join our swim partner Kuotos Swim for a FREE Cold Water Transition Talk.

Learn about:
• The differences between summer and autumn/winter swimming
• What happens to your body in colder water
• How to prepare before, during and after your swim
• Equipment to consider for safety

This is not an alternative to an Introduction to Cold Water Course, we highly recommend attending the full course as the cold weather begins to creep in

We’re asking everyone who visits Whitmore Lakes to help us protect our lakes and the wildlife that depends on them.

Invasive plants and animals can easily hitch a ride between water bodies on shoes, clothing and equipment, often without us even noticing.

Please wear appropriate footwear around the lakes and, importantly, make sure your footwear is clean and dry before arriving. Avoid bringing muddy or wet footwear from another watercourse or lake.

Before leaving, remember:

Look at your shoes, clothing and equipment for mud, plants or animals.

Clean everything thoroughly, paying particular attention to footwear and any damp or hard-to-reach areas.

Allow footwear and equipment to dry thoroughly before using them at another water body.

Please help us keep Whitmore Lakes healthy.
