    Gorgeous, tranquil, refreshing. I have been a member for a few years now and it is by far my favourite thing to do in Bristol. Getting membership involves a bit of work. 1. Look at the website in March/April and see if they are accepting entries into the ballot that year 2. Send off an email or postcard with your details 3. Applications are selected at random until available spaces are filled 4. Successful applicants are invited to join as a community access member (pay per swim at less popular times) and/or join the waiting list for a full place (swim all sessions, bring up to 2 guests per visit). Unsuccessful applicants can choose to have their details retained for next years ballot. 6. It took me 1 year on the waiting list before I was offered full membership. It can take up to three. A bit of admin but well worth it and a pretty fair and efficient way of managing access to an oversubscribed facility. They are now offering monthly lake tours if you want to have a look round
