Long Reach Swim

At HQ you will find event registration, toilets, showers and refreshments.

WATER TEMPERATURE & WETSUITS

We anticipate water temperatures in the region of 17-18 degrees, but this is subject to the usual variables in such a river. The swim isn’t wetsuit compulsory, and you’ll be asked about your swim category within the entry form. The swim will again be towed float compulsory, however.
