Organiser's Description
Henley Swim is privileged to be able to stage the Selkie Henley Classic on this beautiful reach of the Thames. This is the ONLY time you will be able to have a safe supervised swim on the course, while it is completely closed to boat traffic.
The event starts with a short walk to the official regatta start, where the first swimmers will enter the water, just as the sun is rising. This River Thames swimming experience takes you past all the famous Henley Regatta landmarks including the Barn Bar, Phyllis Court and the Members’ Grandstand. As the church and bridge come into sight in the early morning sun, you reach the end of your swim at the Official Regatta Finish.
After a short walk back to the event area you are welcomed by the smell of coffee and breakfast, into the hub of swimmers exhilarated by what they have accomplished before most of the country wakes up.
The Selkie Henley Classic is a swim like no other, and once experienced, it’s difficult to stop yourself returning year after year. Give it a go, and experience for yourself the unique atmosphere of this event.
Due to strict restrictions of use of the river (the rowers are on the water immediately after the event) we have a small window between sunrise and 06:30am. Places in this event are limited and cannot be expanded. Don’t miss out, register NOW.
