Description

Join us for our annual SPOOKTACULAR Halloween Night Swim on Tuesday 29th October 2024!

Our favourite swim of the year is back, and yes, we say it gets bigger and better each year… but it truly does! Thanks to our amazing Open Water community, this event is always a highlight. Don’t believe us? Check out the pictures from last year’s spooky spectacle!

This year, we have one big spooky swim! The briefing will begin at 18:30, followed by a swim entry at 18:45. You’ll have the chance to swim for as long as you feel comfortable, with the swim finishing at 19:45. You’ll swim clockwise around our eerie, illuminated course, with our safety team keeping a watchful eye on you (though they might not be the only ones watching… 👻). After your swim, warm up with a delicious of hot soup waiting for you!

This event is suitable only for confident open water swimmers. You must be able to swim at least 300m and be comfortable in colder water temperatures (between 12-14°C).
