The great wild river swim in the Thames gives open water enthusiasts the chance to enjoy a lovely group swim.

Swimming in the Thames is a liberating and even exciting experience and one that leaves everyone that takes part with a smile on their face. The swim is approximately 1500 metres in length and the timing coincides with the turning tide so that swimmers are benefiting from tidal assistance both heading towards Chiswick Eyot and also on the return leg back towards Hammersmith.

So why not join around 100 hardy swimmers so will set off from the Hammersmith banks by the Black Lion pub to enjoy the sites of London from a fantastically different perspective.

Wet-suits allowed, goggles recommended, souvenir hat provided. The course includes a circumnavigation of Chiswick Eyot (weather permitting).
