Join us every Thursday at 6:30am at FLÖ Wellbeing for an early morning lake swim designed to help you start the day feeling refreshed, grounded and energised. Set within our peaceful lakeside setting at Blackpit Farm, Morning Swim Club is all about embracing slower mornings, fresh air and the feeling that comes after cold water. Whether you’re a regular swimmer or completely new to outdoor swimming, this is a welcoming space to build a simple morning ritual and connect with like-minded people. Bring your swimwear, towel and warm layers for afterwards — we’ll see you at the lake.
