1.5km, 3km, 6km and 9 km. Beautiful Lyn Padarn with the Snowdon mountain range. The cool thing about this swim is you climb onto train to get to the start line.




Gaeleforce Killary Fjord

https://gaelforceevents.com/en/the-great-fjord-swim-the-great-fjord-swim

Beautiful setting with mountains and Irish waters. A fishing trawler takes you out to the start. Water temperature can be cold, so you must be acclimatized to swimming in 13 degree water temperature.


Coniston Lake District

5 September 2020

Well organized, friendly. Swimming in the Lake District allows you to go explore other beautiful lakes.

4 mile tidal swim in Rural Sussex




The Serpentine

19 September 2020

Distances: 750m, 1 mile or 2 mile

London classic medal.

Disability swimmers are catered for. Very inspirational watching.

I would recommend entering the earlier waves like 8.30am or 9.00am as it is a big event. Some swimmers thought the waves were too full.
