For the last decade this muscular little endurance swim has attracted swimmers from around the UK to swim continuously until they complete 36km or for one mile every hour for 12 hours. Intrepid soloists and relay teams of between 2-6 swimmers join up for the challenge of swimming the 36km English Channel distance (21 miles) in a beautiful, safe English lake. Alternatively choose to swim for 10, 8, 6 hours.
For potential English Channel swimmers its an event that provides a clear idea on the time it will take to swim the English Channel proper.
Relay swimmers are required to complete equal distances and swim in a designated team order and soloists just plough on around the course fed and nourished by their dedicated land support.

Prior to the start relays select either the 1.5km or 3km distance that each swimmer then needs to swim throughout the event. If a swimmer drops out for any reason the team can still continue until the 36km distance is completed but the team won't be officially placed.
Parking: Free at venue on lake access road.
