    Never seen anybody swim there, its shallow and quite murky. Nothing to stop you I guess but not a known bathing spot.

    Wouldn't surprise me if people are swimming there at the moment.

    I'm sure you can swim there, but do you want to risk catching Weil's disease?

    Look. We all know it's bottomless. And has sharks. Don't do dat.

    It's quite rocky at the sides, and as others have said, quite murky. Wouldn't fancy it myself tbh. Other beaches not too far away. With life guards!

    Good call! Cratloe Woods is one of my favourite places, but that lake really isn't made for swimming in!
