Congratulations to everyone that took part in the TTC Aquathlon on Saturday. If you would like to take part in the next on 18th August head over to their website to book your spot. Triathlon Training Centre, Bray Lake

Congratulations to everyone who took part in the Boulters to Bray swim.

Please can all the ladies check if they picked up a turquoise towelling poncho from the changing rooms last night by mistake. Please give us a call if you find it.

Please be aware there is a lot of traffic around the centre due to temporary traffic lights and road works. Please allow for extra time if you travelling here for swimming this evening.

Good morning guys, Thank you so much for supporting our new menu and giving your feedback. We have had a few people asking for it to be provided on other days so I thought we could do a poll to introduce some more food options through the week. There will be take away options too.

Next Wednesday 27th 6-8 pm we are running a special discounted SUP course for our swimmers. 20% off the usual £49 Please give us a call to book or have a chat with us over the weekend.

Still a few weeks If you would like to sign up with the Bray Bathers. You will receive a discount and be apart of one of the biggest groups in the challenge. Last year we managed an impressive 27 swimmers but this year we want more. Its an amazing event and the discount you get Bray Lake makes up, which goes towards the great charities Boulters to Bray supports. You can register you place at the Bray Lake club house.

Hi All, a few more bits of lost property. Please call or message if you see something of yours

Hey guys any takers? Give us a call

Thank you everyone for reposting. The wetsuits now have their correct owners. We ask where possible if you could write your contact details in your wetsuits/kit so we can get lost items back to you as soon as possible. Many thanks

We love swimming at Bray. The guys who work there are really cool too. They are helpful and friendly (and put up with my husbands bad chat). The course is really good too - many distance options. The coffee is good too. There are many places to swim in the area and we choose Bray Lake over others.

Very welcoming. Lovely location and friendly swimmers. My first still water swim and I'll definitely be back. Less creatures than the sea!!!!

Super facility and great people. The lake is wonderful and the buoy markers are clear and easy to site off.

Just moving back to bray for the start of winter lake swimming.

Lake is lovely and clean, the bouys are well laid out and easy to see so you can chose laps of any distance to suit.

The staff watch over the lake all the time so it feels very safe - very important as the temperature drops.

Facilities are good too with a beautifully warm changing room ( only complaint are showers which are too hot after a very cold lake swim ) but the coffee is hot, porridge is tasty ... And they even butter your hot toast to,go with it :)

Looking forward to the wintery Saturday mornings .

Great swim/run training session tonight at Bray Watersports open water swim session. First time for me, but I will definitely be back for more, when I'm working down here, hopefully Thursday Am 0600!!

Great lake, clean water, good loops, friendly people.

Great and unexpected open water swim this morning! Super friendly team and a beautiful location ��

Great 'pool', great location, great team looking after everything and all swimmers etc.... A happy place :)

Fab setting, friendly staff and lovely cafe! Coaching available and free kids swimming !

Bray Lake is a fantastic open water swimming facility — beautiful location, lovely clean, clear water, and with a choice of days and times. Plus it's the only lake in the area that offers year-round swimmers a haven in winter. The Bray team are always welcoming and really helpful, and you can head into the coldest water knowing you're in safe hands in the unlikely event that something should go amiss. Warm showers, toasty changing rooms, tea, hot chocolate, crumpets, and a lot of laughter with the Bray team and fellow swimmers are the perfect combo to round off a great OWS session. Can't recommend highly enough :)

Been coming here for years! Waters clean.. love it!
