It is open to both guests at the Swinton Hotel and day visitors.
Felicity Cunliffe-Lister, owner of the Swinton Estate, said:
"We are excited to launch our 2023 wild swimming season on our private lake.
“Swimming in open water is an amazing way to connect with nature, and we are delighted to offer this activity to our guests in such a beautiful location.”
The private lake is located in the heart of the 200-acre estate.
Wild swimming season at the estate runs from May to September and the lake is free to hotel guests.
Day visitors can purchase a Parklands & Gardens Pass for just £10 per day, or £60 for a whole year.
