Selkie Henley Classic

The course is a straight line, point-to point-swim (ie no turns) and takes advantage of the stunning course of the Henley Royal Regatta. The swim is upstream, the strength of the stream varies from year-to-year, ensuring that no two events are the same.

**Water Temperature
**
The water temperature at the Classic depends upon both the outside temperature and the quantity of rainfall in the days and weeks running up to the event. It is therefore very difficult to predict.

Based on previous years, at the end of June, it's expected that the water will be between 17 and 19 degrees centigrade.
