Exmoor Open Water Swim 2020

Back for the 4th year, join us on Sunday 27th September 2020 for the Exmoor Open Water Swim. Building on the success of our previous events, our goal is to give everyone the opportunity to swim in this beautiful lake in Exmoor National Park. Whether you are a regular open water swimmer, or want to venture outside of the swimming pool - this is your chance to swim #BEYONDTHELANES

With distances ranging from 1km to 6km, there is something for everyone. Everyone who takes part will be entered in to a prize draw to win a one-week swimming holiday to Greece - with Strel Swimming Adventures.

The longer distances use a 4km loop, taking swimmers all the way down to the end and back, on a stunning single loop tour of the whole lake. The smaller 2km loop is for swimmers who either have confined their swims to pools or have yet to conquer the longer distance. Following the success of recent years, we also have an "elite" only 6km course which combines both loops - this is aimed at those who want a clear swim around the course at a faster pace.

For 2020 we are introducing a 1km loop for those who have not been able to train due to COVID-19, or would like an introduction to a shorter swim at Wimbleball Lake.

Hopefully people will aim for the longer distances next year. For more details go to www.exmoorswim.co.uk
