A fantastic experience for my first long distance open water swim event. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Clear race briefing and well organised. Thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed it 😃

Small local event perfect for training swims and for people who might not yet be confident. Very reasonably priced too. Highly recommended.

Friendly and inclusive atmosphere. Nice course for a first time open water swim

Did the race in 2023

only gripe I have is the wooden medals need to stop. If you’re going to provide a wooden medal the price needs to at least be halved. Everyone that does these kind of events wants proper medals, especially for doing something as challenging as a 5k swim!

Maybe get some manual timing so we can get a rough idea of time.

Lovely lake and a nice course but could do with bigger bouys as spotting was hard.

Amazing friendly environment for professional athletes and for occasionally swimming people - organisers are making the event perfect.

Lake was very clean and clear and, with a visible bottom meaning it was easier to stay orientated!Everyone was very friendly, and event well organised.Would definitely do again!
