Enjoyable event, great venue with adequate facilities. Clear and cool water, hope to be back next year.
The organisation for the race was excellent. The Turner Swim team are so friendly and helpful. The course is great, with stunning views of Canary Wharf as the backdrop. The venue, Docklands Sailing & Watersports Centre is brilliant, it has lockers, hot showers and the staff are lovely. I felt well looked after and safe the entire time. I would really recommend this event for first timers and those looking to push themselves a bit further.
My first open water swim. Friendly atmosphere, plenty of space to change with hot showers and free lockers. Squash, fruit and biscuits after. Regarding the swim we had about 5-10 minutes to warm up and then we were off. In parts the water was choppy! Good if you’re a new swimmer or in preparation for a triathlon.

Brilliant race - will get incredibly popular. The water in Millwall Docks was surprisingly fresh and clear. The 1 Mile race course was easily navigated and the whole event extremely well organised. Coming back next year. I want to be sub 30.
