A huge well done to everyone who took part in this year’s Open Water Championships. Despite not quite managing all five swims in the series, we were delighted to successfully complete four across the season.

It was particularly fantastic to see a number of swimmers completing these swims for the very first time, including some of our younger squad swimmers stepping into open water competition and taking on a completely different challenge from racing in the pool.

A massive thank you must also go to our brilliant team of kayakers, whose support is essential in allowing these swims to take place safely. Their time and commitment help ensure our swimmers are well supported and looked after while out on the water.

Congratulations to all of our swimmers on another great open water season.
