What is Pool Bridge Farm? This shows the magic we have to offer and the community we have built.
What’s your Pool Bridge magic moment? #coldwaterswimming #wildswimming #contrasttherapy #community
Our First Soundbath of the season is on Wednesday evening. We have 2 sessions 4:45 and 6:45pm
Come and join Romina in the Little Wood and step away from the outside world, take time to pause and reset whilst being immersed in sound before emerging and feeling nourished and refreshed.
Head to your tickets page to book now.
Why we swim: The Mad Swim Ladies
Independent communities blossom at Pool Bridge Farm, and I sat down with one of them to find out more about why they swim, how they all got together, and how they became some of our most recognisable regulars (maybe it's the lovely hats!)
Why do you swim?

💚✨ Mental Health Awareness Week ✨💚
This year’s theme is ACTION; because while awareness matters, meaningful change happens when we take action too.
This post shares ideas for:
🌻 Things you can do for yourself
🌻 Things you can do for someone else
🌻 Things we can all do together
We know that taking action can sometimes feel hard, especially when you’re struggling, but small actions count. A walk outside, checking in on a friend, asking for help, resting, listening, creating community… it all matters 🌿
Whatever action looks like for you, we hope this week reminds you that mental health deserves care, attention, and compassion every day 🌬️
📚 Theme by the Mental Health Foundation: visit the link in the comments for more information about taking action for mental health! #mentalhealthawareness #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek
🌿✨ We are a tranquil site ~ come join us for a peaceful day out ✨🌿
Slow down, breathe deeply, and take a break from the noise 🌬️
Whether it’s a lakeside walk, a quiet swim, warming up in the sauna, or simply sitting with a coffee watching the water... PBF is a space to pause and reset 🌻
To help us keep the calm atmosphere that so many people love, we kindly ask that visitors respect our site rules:
🎵 Music-free
🚭 Smoke-free
🍷 Alcohol-free
A little calm goes a long way 🙏 #tranquil #wildswimming #wildsauna
☕🌿 Cafe Update 🌿☕
As we move into the summer months, the site becomes much busier. To help the cafe manage demand and ensure visitors can access food and drinks during their visit, from 22nd May the cafe will be available to ticket holders only over the busy summer period.
At the end of summer, we’ll update everyone when non-ticket holders are able to return to the cafe ☺️
If you’re a regular cafe visitor, or this change creates difficulties for you, please speak to Ian or Alison in the cafe.
Thank you for your understanding and support ✨ #cafeupdate #pbf
A very special morning at the farm for the dawn chorus
Watching the sun rise over the lake, listening to the birds begin to sing, surrounded by likeminded people
Days like this make us so grateful to our staff and community for creating such a wonderful space to come and sit with nature

👶🌊 Children & Swimming Update at PBF 🌊👶
A little update on when we hope to welcome children back into the water ✨
The water is still cold, and with temperatures dropping over the next few weeks, we’re currently hoping for a return date around 20th May - but we’ll confirm as soon as we can 👀
🎟️ Child swim tickets will become available once we reopen for children
🏄♂️ SUP tickets don’t have separate adult/child options, and children can only attend SUP sessions once we’ve officially reopened for them
Until you see an official update from us, please leave the kids at home — they won’t be able to be on site until the water is warm enough
We can’t wait to welcome families back soon 🌿✨ #wildswimming #familylake #pbf
