This is the lake where we went swimming today and I am very pleased to report that I survived without being eaten by a giant fish or pecked by an angry swan!  In fact, I can actually say that I really rather enjoyed it.
The swim induction session was very thorough with an onshore run-through of all the safety aspects, followed by into our wetsuits and acclimitisation in the water - not nearly as cold as I'd expected! We then did one lap of a small triangle with the instructor followed by one lap on our own and upon completing that we were deemed competent enough to swim in the lake on our own and issued with a membership card as confirmation.  I will definitely be going back for another go! :)
