Organiser's Description

The Bradford-on-Avon Swim and Picnic isn't a race. It's a social swim and a picnic at the medaeval Tithe Barns, in the historic town of Bradford-on-Avon. The only difference is to earn your picnic you have to swim along the idyllic River Avon a distance of 1.7km.
The Bradford-on-Avon Swim and Picnic is part of the Slow Swimming campaign, aimed at encouraging swimmers to take their time and enjoy the opportunity to be out fully immersed in nature. There are no timing chips or results sheets. Everyone who takes part is a winner equally.
