Big Swim Nottingham

Sat 25th July 2020

A large group of swimmers wearing wetsuits and yellow swim caps compete in an open water event under a partly cloudy sky. Spectators watch from the shore beside a row of buildings and tents in the background.

Organiser's Description

--- Due to Covid-19 all OSB events have been cancelled until Woodhall Sprint Triathlon in September. We have been considering different options, but the safety of our competitors, staff, crew and volunteers is paramount. All confirmed competitors have been sent an email directly ---

Whether you're a novice, an experienced open water swimmer, or an Olympic athlete, this event is a fun challenge to take on. We have three distances for you to pick from: 1500m, 2500m or the biggie 5000m. All swims take place in the Regatta Lake at the National Water Sports Centre, Nottingham.

The swim itself is very simple to navigate as you will have sight of the banks at all times. The very big orange blueseventy swim buoys will be the turning points.
