Swimming in such conditions is possible, but for most people, the time spent in the water should be limited to avoid hypothermia. Even experienced swimmers may feel discomfort if they stay in the water for too long. To improve comfort and safety, a wetsuit can be used. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather.

*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast
Actual nearshore water temperatures may fluctuate by several degrees from the reported values, especially following heavy rainfall or extended periods of strong winds. Certain wind patterns can cause colder, deeper waters to rise and replace the sun-warmed surface water, leading to noticeable variations.
Our forecast is based on a proprietary mathematical model that considers real-time water temperature changes, historical trends, key weather patterns, wind strength and direction, and air temperature specific to each region. Additionally, we incorporate data from other resorts to enhance accuracy.

Location & Local Information
Stone, a small market town in Staffordshire, lies along the upper course of the River Trent, where the river flows through a landscape of meadows and gentle hills. In this section, the Trent is still relatively narrow and shallow, and its temperature changes noticeably with the seasons. During winter, the water remains cold, usually between 3 and 6°C (37–43°F). By spring, as the weather warms, it reaches around 8–11°C (46–52°F). In midsummer, particularly during July and August, the river can rise to 16–18°C (61–64°F), with shallow sunny areas occasionally feeling warmer. In early autumn, the temperature gradually drops back to about 12–14°C (54–57°F), keeping a mild freshness that lasts well into October.
Swimming in the River Trent at Stone is possible, though it is not a common activity. The water is generally clean, but the river’s shallow depth, uneven bottom, and sometimes brisk current make it more suitable for wading or short, careful swims. Wild swimmers who know the area sometimes enjoy quiet sections on warm days, while most residents prefer walking or picnicking along the riverbanks. Stone also offers attractive nearby sites such as Trentham Gardens, the Trent and Mersey Canal, and the peaceful countryside paths that follow the river’s winding course.
