Health Benefits

The combination of cold water immersion & heat from the sauna can not only support cardiovascular health, it can also provide relief from achy muscles, reduce pain & inflammation and can also help to strengthen immune response. It can also improve circulation, boost energy levels & can increase metabolism & assist with weight management, as part of a healthy lifestyle. As well as the physical benefits, it also provides a natural hit of endorphins, the happy hormones, which give an unmistakably thrilling feeling. Boosting these feel-good chemicals in the body can also help to manage anxiety, stress & depression & provide a sense of rejuvenation.

What Our Members Say:

Wild Swim Lake

In a secluded spot in Wasing woodlands in rural Berkshire, our stunning tree-lined wild swim lake is the ideal space to connect with nature and offers an opportunity to switch off, exercise in all seasons and meet like-minded members in our friendly swim community.

The Sauna

Rewarm in our beautifully crafted, woodfired Scandinavian sauna. Wood-lined with a larch cladded exterior, the sauna’s elegant architectural design combines with minimalism for a warming atmosphere & plentiful natural light from its panoramic window overlooking the lake. With a Scandinavian spruce finish for the interior and matching furniture made form aspen timber, the wood feels cooler and more comfortable against the skin compared to other types of wood. Our wood burner provides a cosy warmth while you enjoy the beautiful views and other members’ company.

Wild Swim & Sauna Team

Our super friendly, first aid trained Wild Swim attendants, headed up by our Wellbeing Manager Tania, will be on hand during every session to ensure your visit goes swimmingly & keep the herbal teas flowing.

Whether you’re joining as a member or booking a weekend swim, Wasing’s wild waters and woodland sauna offer space to restore, reconnect and breathe.
