It is an opportunity for experienced open water swimmers to enjoy the scenic spot at Crosby Lakeside Adventure Centre on Cambridge Road in Waterloo. Organisers say open water swimming is ‘a truly different experience to the pool, without the confines of lane ropes or walls, it’s liberating, adventurous and unique’.

Crossfield Construction has been appointed to deliver the £3.1m redevelopment of Crosby Lakeside Adventure Centre.
Liverpool City Region Combined Authority is to fund the project, which will see the creation of new hospitality and event facilities, reception areas, overnight accommodation and upgraded M&E.
The centre is situated at the entrance to Crosby Coastal Park and adjacent to Anthony Gormley’s Another Place installation.
Sefton Council’s cabinet last month signed off on the establishment of a wholly-owned company to manage the operation, having also approved a working capital loan of £500,000 to support its launch.
The proposals designed by Imagineering Global on behalf of Sefton Council involve a new 2,200 sq ft events space to be built on hardstanding o the existing building’s west, while a further 38 bed spaces will be provided in a ‘bunkbarn’.
