When: Friday 11th July
Where: Alderford Lake
Tilstock Road

Timings: Drop in any time between 8am – 4pm to swim. You can stay for the duration and swim in intervals, or you can swim in one go at any point during the day.
Distances: The distance is up to you, and it’s not a race! You may want to challenge yourself to swim as fast or as long as you can, or simply enjoy a leisurely swim – all to contribute to our total miles! Solo and relay teams (2-3 people) are welcome. For reference 2 laps of the lake is 1 mile. We will have a team member to count laps towards our final total at the end of the day!
Entry Fee: £25pp with further sponsorship welcome!
Includes: Access to the lake, showers and changing rooms, sheltered resting area, water safety, breakfast sandwich, hot drink
Water safety: All swimmers are required to wear a tow float. We advise wearing a wetsuit if you are not acclimatized to cold water. All swimmers will be required to sign the Alderford Waiver. For all details on water safety at Alderford, click here: Water Quality & Safety at Alderford – alderford
