Organiser's Description
How many people do you know that can say they have swum to the pub on a Saturday night?
This fun 1.5km swim will start at Henley Rowing Club with the first 400m an upstream swim towards Marsh lock, before swimmers turn at 2 large marker buoys, and cruise down the Mill Meadow bank, swimming downstream all the way to the well-known Angel on the Bridge pub.
Here you will be presented with your well earned bottle of Brakspear’s Angel’s Delight beer and your bottle-opener medal, before joining the after party and BBQ (pre-order only). Stay a while to soak up the atmosphere, cheer other swimmers on and celebrate your achievement. A perfect Saturday night!
