West Reservoir Centre in Woodberry Down offers open water swimming in a natural reservoir in Hackney, just a short walk from Manor House station. If you're after something different from the usual pool, here you can swim outdoors in stunning surroundings while taking in views across the water. We're a Royal Yachting Association training centre, so you can try sailing and kayaking alongside your swimming sessions. There are yoga classes to complement your training, and our cafe is perfect for refuelling after time on the water. We run a youth club and multi-activity programmes during school holidays, giving kids the chance to get out on the reservoir. First-time swimmers need a quick induction with our team, and red swim caps are required for all sessions. Book through the app and come discover why locals love having this outdoor swimming spot on their doorstep.
