Dock2Dock

DOCK2DOCK is back on Saturday, 16 August 2025!

London's most iconic swim event will once again give you the chance to swim the historical London Royal Docks. This not just any swim meet, it's a unique experience where you will be swimming alongside the London City Airport runway while planes are actively taking off and landing. With five core distances - 1.5k, 3k, 5k, 10k, EPIC 15k, and to celebrate our 10th anniversary we will be hosting a special 20k feature swim - all with very generous swim cut-off times. Dock2Dock is an inclusive event and suitable for every ability.


Why Dock2Dock is so iconic...
- Friendly event that welcomes all swim abilities from 12+ years old (on the day of the event)
- Multiple distances to choose from: 1.5k, 3k, 5k, 10k, 15k, and 20k
- Excellent water quality
- Very generous cut-off times - because it's about enjoyment and not just speed
- Tailor your experience - wetsuit or skins? mass start or rolling start? - the choice is yours!
- Ticket prices start from only £45 (+booking fee)
- Swimming alongside the London City Airport while planes land and take off is certainly a unique and unmissable experience!
