Route information

Swim one of our many Crossings solo, or as a team! This event is very relaxed, we are not timing teams (though you can do yourself), the aim is to complete rather than 'win'! Each team has an available start time to complete their crossing and will pass their team wristband to each swimmer (1 at a time), logging each lap at the end of their time by returning to HQ. 
  • 1 lap of the lanes = 100m
  • Minimum age for any team member is 8 years old
  • You will be contacted for details of your team, after you have booked
This event will be raising money for charity. The profits raised from entries and fundraising will be going to the maintenance and running of Shoalstone Pool, and to a local not for profit Safe Swim Projects who provide free at point safety, swimming and first aid courses for Devon locals.
