Arriving at Heron Lake you immediatly notice its close proximity to the M25. The access is easy and although parking can be a problem, generally it is not.
The lake looks gorgeous surrounded by trees and bushes and on a warm day, very tempting indeed!
The facilities are excellent; changing rooms, showers, toilets, cafe. In fact the whole family can come and watch you swim!
Entering the lake the water is warm and the weed is minimal. The water isn't the nicest colour, a dingy brown, but smells fine all the same.
The course is laid out by many buoys, perfect for practicing sighting and there is the option of a 1000m route or 400m route.
There are safety canoes on standby and the sign in/out system ensures no one is left in the lake longer than necessary.
I would thoroughly recommend using Heron Lake as your open water practice spot. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great.
Happy Training
