Together We Swim

06/09/2026

Hello folks

Just wanted to confirm that coaching sessions delivered by Petrina and me have now finished for this year. We are not running any sessions at all currently, and I will update this page with plans for next spring onwards.

Some swimmers have joined some group swims thinking they are delivered by us, and the session is an Introduction to Open water swimming. This is not the case. We love that you are joining group swims, its a great way to enjoy your swims and make new swim friends. There are lots of groups locally , so enjoy 😊

Hello lovely swimmers and followers. Hope everyone has had lots of lovely swims this summer. We've had a great summer of coaching and sharing our passion for open water swimming with lots of lovely people. Its been amazing to see lots of friendship groups forming, and you supporting each other in and out of the water.
As we approach Autumn and winter, which is my favourite time of year for swimming, we are taking a break from coaching and sessions for this year have now finished. I'm still here if you have any questions about open water swimming, and I will be out and about swimming through autumn and winter.
See you all soon 😊💙
Ps - photo of the seaside just to keep summer going a bit longer!

🍂 We’re Going Seasonal! 🍂

We have a little update to share about the future of Burton Farm.

From this year, Burton Farm Café will be moving from year-round opening to seasonal opening, giving us the chance to make the most of the warmer months and a little breathing space over winter.

Our last day of the season will be Sunday 1st November, with the café closing from Monday 2nd November and reopening on Tuesday 2nd March 2027.

Why the change?

It’s mainly an operational decision, but the winter break will also give us valuable time to tackle some much-needed maintenance, make improvements around the farm and get everything ready for another fantastic season.

There are some exciting changes for our team too. A number of our fabulous team are heading off to university or finishing their studies and beginning their full-time careers. We’re incredibly proud of them, and with so much changing behind the scenes, this feels like the perfect time for Burton Farm to make a change too.

🏊 Swimming is staying open!

Our open-water swimming will continue throughout the winter, so you can still get your Burton Farm fix! We’ll keep you updated with swimming days and times as we move through the colder months, and our check-in cabin will be open for swimmers.

Most importantly, we’re not going anywhere – we’re just going seasonal! 💚

We really hope you’ll continue to visit and support us throughout September and October, and then join us again when the café doors reopen in March.

As a small local business, every coffee, breakfast, cake, swim and visit really does make a difference. Thank you for supporting Burton Farm and our wonderful team – we couldn’t do it without you.

Here’s to making the most of the rest of the season... and coming back refreshed and ready for Spring 2027! 🌿☕🐾
