Big-loch beauty and distances for every swimmer — what does it feel like to swim in the legendary Loch Lomond?
When our founder Simon took on the mega 10km at Go Swim Loch Lomond, he found that it was more than a race. Flat, calm water, stunning views and a beautiful course that felt safe, scenic and surprisingly meditative.
From family-friendly 250m dips to the mighty
10km, Go Swim Loch Lomond offers something for every kind of open water swimmer. We asked Simon to tell us why Go Swim Loch Lomond is the kind of event that stays with you long after you’ve crossed the finish line.
Simon found swimming 10km in Loch Lomond deeply calming, and “a surprisingly enjoyable way to
cover the distance”, with the multi-lap course making it easier to settle into a rhythm and stay present in the water.
How do you prepare to swim a long distance? Simon says it’s as much psychological preparation as physical; you prepare to be alone with your thoughts for a long period of time.
Whether you’re building up to your first open water event or looking for your next big-distance challenge, Go Swim Loch Lomond offers a rare combination
of beauty, exhilaration and reassurance in the water.
