Booking information
We only take two bookings per swim tide
- 2 solo swims – neap tide
- 2 relay or solo swims – spring tide
You should aim to swim at 3 km/h
We strongly recommend that international swimmers be in the UK five days before and after the swim window and UK based swimmers be flexible for the entire season, this gives the best chances of swimming if the weather is against us
