The Haven - Feltham
At The Haven, we have access to the entire lake for our swimming activities.
For your safety, please use the hand rails at the top of the lake to enter and exit the lake.
Half Loop (Blue) 250 metres: If it’s your first time with us or you’re not ready for the full loop, we offer a shorter half loop. The lifeguard on duty will be happy to point out the route.
To swim the half loop, start from the pontoon marked by the red dot. Swim keeping outside the buoys, swim clockwise and just turn right at each marker. You can repeat the half loop or move on to the full lap when you’re ready.
Full Loop (Orange) 450 metres: To swim the full loop, start in front of the pontoon (marked here by the red dot). Swim up to the first buoy and then hang a right. Follow the outside of the yellow marker buoys clockwise until you return to the start.
To exit the lake, please wait for people to come down the steps before exiting. Please use the handrail.
Please note that depending on the time of year or staffing levels we reserve the right to run the 250 metre loop only.
