Eden Dock, previously known as Middle Dock, is set to reopen for wild swimming beginning June 5. This transformation of the 200-year-old maritime location will feature a beautiful waterfront environment with islands, marine habitats, and art installations. Managed by Love Open Water, the swimming experience promises safety with compliance to EU Bathing Standards and high water quality, filtered through natural aquifers. Swimmers will need a NOWCA membership for access and should be aware of cold water temperatures, requiring brightly colored swim caps for visibility.
"Eden Dock swimming is run in partnership with Love Open Water. The water is regularly tested, adhering to 'high levels of cleanliness as required by EU Bathing Standards'"
"The water is 'spring fed by an aquifer which filters the water through layers of Thanet sand and gravel resulting in its superb water quality and unrivalled clarity'"}],
The 200-year-old former maritime hub has been transformed into a waterfront oasis, with islands, marine habitats and art installations.
To get really into it, the water is 'spring fed by an aquifer which filters the water through layers of Thanet sand and gravel resulting in its superb water quality and unrivalled clarity', according to a spokesperson in 2025.
