Thinking about your first open water swim? This is where it begins 💙

🚨 Due to one of our Saturday slots selling out, we’ve opened a new 250m swim slot. The 250m is the equivalent of around 10 pool lengths and takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. It's the perfect introductory distance for anyone new to open water swimming.

Our shorter distances are proving popular, with one of our 250m slots now sold out! The 250m is the perfect distance if you’re new to open water swimming, returning after a break, or keen to dip your toes into the Great North Swim for the first time 🌊

Struggling for last-minute Christmas presents? Our Great North Swim merch range might be the answer: whether they’re a seasoned swimmer or just getting started 👉 adventureshop.org/swim
