SWIM THE LAKES - SUMMER CHALLENGES SERIES AT QUEENFORD LAKES
Between the end of June and the end of August, we will give you a chance to swim the equivalent of the length of the Lake district's 8 longest lakes on Sunday mornings. Starting with Grasmere at 1.6 km and culminating with Windermere at 16.8 km.
You can choose to enter as many of those as you wish, and so there should be a challenge to fit you whatever level or swim experience you have. You can start small and build it up through the season, stay short this season if you're a beginner, or use longer challenges as training for big endurance swims you might have entered.
We always try to make our event as accessible as possible, however the entry fee of the longer challenges will reflect the fact that the lake will have to stay closed to other activities for some time and require more work ahead.
Your entry will include:
- your swim
- a snack post swim
- a memento of your challenge
- Shorter challenges will take place on the traditional swim loops of our front lake during nrmal swim sessions, but for longer challenges we will use extended loops to start, even swimming into the back lake to make it more interesting, and earlier start times. All info is provided for each event.
- Their will be cut off times for each events. If you are unsure you can also challenge yourself to swim as far as you can within the time allowed.
- There will be a dedicated pontoon area for drinks and snack for fuelling during the longer swims
- This is a challenge and not a timed race event
- These series are not restricted to Queenford Lakes regular swimmers only, but will however require a NOWCA membership to enter.
- Entries will strictly close on the Sunday before the event to allow for planning and purchasing - no changes after this to avoid waste
- Booking and bright tow floats compulsory
We really hope you enjoy these!
If you do not wish to participate, our normal summer swim sessions will run alongside as usual too.
