*************

Fritton Lake is a lake in the English county of Norfolk. It is a popular local tourist attraction located south-west of Great Yarmouth and north-west of Lowestoft on the Norfolk–Suffolk border.^[1]

A secret training facility was located at Fritton Lake during the Second World War. American made Sherman tanks were turned into amphibious vehicles by attaching a special collapsible screen made of rubber. Between 1943 and 1945 British, American, and Canadian units came to Fritton Lake to be trained in the use of these tanks. On D-Day, 128 of these specially fitted tanks were launched, with 78 of them making it to shore.

The Fritton Lake Triathlon includes an open water swim in the lake.^[2]
