Divers Cove Reservoir, Godstone
Thanks to its positioning on a former sand extraction site, Divers Cove in the picturesque village of Godstone boasts turquoise waters that, when twinkling in the sunlight, look like they belong in the Mediterranean. The 7.3 acre reservoir boasts two circuits – a 450m and 650m – for swimmers, both marked by large bouys. You’ll warm up in no time following your swim, thanks to the heated changing rooms and onsite café serving hot food and drinks.
It’s safety first at Divers Cove. The site is watched over at all times by two fully-trained lifeguards: one on the pontoon and another out on the waters. Swimmers are also given compulsory wristbands – loaded with their personal details, medical history and emergency contact information – which alert the staff to who is in the water when, which also allows you to track your swim for training purposes.
How to get there: 40 minutes by train from London Bridge to Caterham, then 10 minutes on the number 400 bus. Or just off Junction 6 of the M25, and easily found on the A25
