Plus, it’s a fantastic way to meet new people, have fun, and make a splash!

Who can join?

We warmly welcome swimmers of all ages and abilities. Whether you decide to swim one length or a hundred, every contribution counts. Gather your friends, family and neighbours to form a team, or come solo and make new friends as you swim. It’s all about community and camaraderie!
