We are very excited to have a new 2022 date in the diary already which will be Sunday 31 July and based on feedback from 2020 & 202. Registration and event parking to be at Thames Valley Athletics Centre, SL4 6HN. From here you will then be bused to the Swim Start (15-20 minutes away) at Boulters Lock in Taplow – then it’s up to you to swim the 10km back to your car/ bike/ scooter/ Uber!

Swimmers will be started in waves based on the predicted swim time you submit at point of entry – please ensure these are as accurate as they can be possibly be.

If you would like to be in the same starting wave as friends, we will do our best to accommodate this for you dependent on your predicted swim times. In order to allow the organising team to confirm event plans in good time, please do so by 14 July at the latest.

What’s new for 2022?

• Competitors to use their own bags for their belongings they require at the finish line.


• The RELAY option – teams of 2, 3 or 4 swimmers welcome.


• Hand sanitiser to be available at registration, feed stations and the finish line
