Directions: When you visit Whole Health Swim Village, you will need to park at Racecourse Road car park, right at the end of Racecourse Road. Follow signs for Colwick Hall, or use postcode NG2 4BH. The car park is a little further on, straight ahead through a yellow barrier gate after you pass Colwick Hall on your right. You’ll then need to walk around the lake to find us. Go through the yellow gate at the top of the car park, and follow the signs to West Lake with our little apple logo on. This will take you along a tarmac path for about 500m. You will reach another yellow gate, and see the swim village in front of you.

The Wired on Wheels Pink Cafe is based in the same area opposite our Swim Village changing area and office
