🌊 June at the Lake – Book Early! 🌊

Our swim sessions are proving more popular than ever and many are now regularly selling out, so if you're planning to join us this month, make sure you book early to avoid disappointment.

☀️ Sunrise Swim – 21st June
Our special Sunrise Swim is now fully booked. Due to this event, the timings for our main swim session on 21st June have changed and will run from 9:00am–11:00am.

🏊 Endurance Swim – 7th June (9:00am–1:00pm)
Training for a long-distance swim event this summer? Our Endurance Swim is the perfect opportunity to build confidence and mileage in open water. You can swim any stroke during this session, and with limited numbers available, you'll have plenty of space to focus on your training.

🔥 Wild Sauna Club
Don't forget to add some heat to your recovery! The Wild Sauna Club is open:
• Every Thursday evening
• Fridays
• Saturdays
• Sundays

🏄 Paddleboarding with Felix
Paddleboarding sessions with Felix will be added throughout the summer on an ad hoc basis, so keep an eye on ACTIO and our website for the latest dates and availability.

Whether you're swimming, training, recovering, paddling or simply enjoying the outdoors, we've got plenty happening throughout June.

📅 Book your sessions early and we'll see you at the lake!

We totally understand that life gets in the way sometimes and you may not be able to make your swim. 🏊‍♀️

Just a reminder that swims must be cancelled by midday the day before your session. You can do this yourself in the ACTIO app by:

• Going to your profile
• Selecting your booking
• Clicking the Refund button

If the refund button is no longer showing, unfortunately this means the cancellation window has passed.

HOWEVER… during the summer months many of our swims are fully booked. If this happens and there is still enough time for someone else to take your place, please email us at [email protected] and we’ll do our best to help. If your space can be re-booked, we’ll add a credit to your account. ☀️

It’s also much easier for us to help if your swim was originally booked using credits, as we can simply return the credit to your account and the space is released.

What this doesn’t mean:

• Cancelling your swim an hour (or less) before the session starts. Unfortunately this doesn’t give another swimmer enough time to get to the lake and take your place.

• Cancelling because the weather doesn’t look great. If you don’t want to swim for this reason, it’s unlikely somebody else will either, so the normal cancellation policy still applies.

• Swapping your swim with somebody who has posted online that they wanted to swim but couldn’t get booked on. The reason we work with and the ACTIO app is for safety. We need to know exactly who is attending, their medical information, and we staff our sessions accordingly.

Thanks for your understanding and for helping us keep sessions safe, fair, and available to as many swimmers as possible.

☀️ Sunshine, blue skies and open water… what more could you want? 😍

To help even more of you make the most of this gorgeous weather, we’ve added EXTRA morning sessions on both Wednesday & Friday at 9am! 🌊🏊‍♂️

Already booked onto another session and want to change to the earlier one? No problem — you can swap your booking easily on the ACTIO app up until midday the day before by going to your profile:

📅 Wednesday swim → refund by midday Tuesday to receive a credit and rebook the 9am session
📅 Friday swim → refund by midday Thursday to receive a credit and rebook the 9am session

Grab your cossie, bring the good vibes, and come enjoy the sunshine with us ☀️💦

We can’t wait to see you all! 💙

Let’s make a splash together! 🐬💙

✨ Sunset Swim & Sound returns to Six Hills ✨

We’re so delighted to be returning for our fourth year of holding these beautiful elemental evenings at the healing waters of Swim Six Hills.

There is something truly special about gathering by the lake in the warmth of summer—immersing yourself in the restorative power of open water, before settling onto the decking and earth to be bathed in therapeutic sound as the sun begins to set.

Swim & Sound is a unique opportunity to experience an invigorating open water swim, followed by an outdoor Sound Bath with Berry & Bloom, and time to pause, connect and savour the beauty of a summer evening.
Water is a powerful carrier of frequency—holding, amplifying and transmitting energy. Immersing ourselves in natural water can help regulate the nervous system, improve circulation, elevate mood and create a profound sense of clarity and calm. Combined with the healing vibrations of sound, this creates a deeply restorative experience for mind, body and spirit.

A Sound Bath is a deeply immersive, full-body listening experience using planetary tuned gongs, quartz crystal and Himalayan singing bowls, chimes and percussion to guide you into a meditative state. It is an invitation to slow down, unplug from everyday life and allow gentle yet powerful therapeutic shifts to unfold.

Surrounded by nature, with the sounds of the lake and the warmth of the fading sun, experiencing sound outdoors adds another layer of connection—grounding you more deeply into the present moment.

£45 per person

Please bring:
✨ A yoga mat or blanket to lie on, you’re welcome to bring a chair or beanbag too
✨ A cushion for your head / knees
✨ Warm layers
✨ A blanket
