Fritton Lake
Watersports
Members enjoy exclusive access to Fritton Lake. The club offers wild swimming, paddle boarding, canoeing, sailing and rowing. Water skiing lessons are also available for limited periods to minimise disruption to the natural lake environment. The water sports club is open daily, weather dependent.
New for 2020
Swimming pool
Members can relax around the 22 metre pool all day from 10am until sunset, please see our timetable below for child free and lane swimming times.
Family activites
Adventure play
As well as exploring the lake with their grown-ups, and running wild in our ancient woodland, children will love our adventure play areas. Older kids can whizz through the trees on our zip wire or down our giant slide. There is also a younger children’s play area with a smaller pool, bouncy pillow and play equipment for younger children to conquer. Children must be supervised at all times.
Improve your game
Clay & grass court tennis
The club has four tennis courts, a pair of lawn tennis courts, and two clay, one of which is a new ‘all-weather clay’ allowing for year-round play. Tennis coaching is available for all abilities to enhance any aspect of a player’s game.
