Open Water Swimming at Lake Burwain
Each year Pendle Triathlon Club organise weekly open water sessions at Lake Burwain, in Foulridge. The sessions are marshalled by Pendle Triathlon Club members each week, and for doing this, they get to have a free swim that evening.
There are also opportunities to be trained for manning the motorboat, and kayak training, if you wish to take up the opportunity.
At the Start of the season we are trying something new. Instead of 2 sessions like previous years we are having just the one session :
6pm until 7:30pm
After the swim we have a club house which has shower and changing facilities as well as serving hot and cold drinks. You can even prepay and reserve pie and peas. Sit inside or outside on our decking area to watch the others swim with a great view of the whole lake.

Lake Burwain update.
Following an inspection this afternoon (22/08/2023), the green algae is still very prominent all over the lake and the water level has also dropped significantly as well.
Samples have been taken which clearly shows the green staining in the water sample.
The water quality is poor, caused by the green algae and swimming in Burwain may cause gastroenteritis symptoms, such as vomiting, diarrhoea, fever and headaches.
Toxins in the water can also affect the liver and the nervous system.
Pendle Triathlon Club, which operates Swim Lake Burwain, is not responsible for people developing symptoms whilst swimming in Lake Burwain when the lake is closed due to waterborn green algae. .
Therefore, Swim Lake Burwain is cancelled until further notice.
