Jackie Coombs: Leybourne Country Park Lakes are amazing. Google 'Team Outrageous' and book for an assessment. These Lakes are very well looked after and the water is checked. There is life boat there too. Great open water swimming where I felt really safe. I would strongly recommend these lakes for an open water swim. There are different length of swims.
