Great North Swim: Be part of our open water family
10-12 June 2022, Windermere, Lake District
The Great North Swim has a special place in my heart – it was where my open water journey began. From the moment I entered the water in Windermere on
my first mile swim I was hooked – and look where it led me! Within a few years I had changed my career to work at Outdoor Swimmer magazine and now I live in the Lake District. That first Great North Swim led to many amazing open water experiences around the world and many friendships made. So what are you waiting for? Sign up now, you never know what that one swim could lead to!
