Shame about the weather. I’ve done the Great Scottish Swim organised by the same people and like that one this swim was a really very well run event with lots of swimmers involved, plenty of safety crew and a good fun atmosphere. You get your result immediately and plenty of places to celebrate afterwards. The tricky weather shortened the mile circuit which was a shame but totally understandable. Definitely going again next year although I’ll be sure to be better prepared for how cold it can be in Windermere!
