Post code didn't lead precisely to the place we had to be. Remedy: put up signage to the Rowing Club.
Enough toilets and much better than the horrible portaloo one normally has to use.
Registration quick.
Glad there was a place to leave bag. Tagging the bags&swimmers with wristbands as is done at Dock2Dock would be good.
Pre-swim I was a bit lost as to where to be.
Pre-swim briefing good.
Well-organised, good pre-event email comms, water clean, felt safe, felt challenged by the cold (18 degrees) and the breeze on the 1 200m return stretch (skins swimmer), which made it all the more rewarding when I finished my 2.5km swim.
Thank you for the cake and cola.
It felt stingy to pay £3.50 for a medal at the finish. I know medals are probably built into entry fees at other events, but it is nice to get a medal. Compared to Dock2Dock: both are good venues, clean water, well organised, plenty of safety crew. Dock2Dock medals and a gift for all finishers.
Swim Long had showers: what a treat! And it is a good venue for family and friends as there is a viewing deck and places along the course where they can watch the swimmers.
I would like to do this event or one like it, organised by VOTWO, again.

Great event for swimming ! very well organised and went all super smoothly and on time. The lake is great to swim in w the lanes to help go straight :)
For organisers: someone asked me to move my chip from inside my wetsuit to outside, where I thought it would fall. It did fall… which was frustrating to get accurate time
Great race, no problems. Didn’t need any info I didn’t have, well marked course with plenty of marshals. A little busy as 2.5 and 3.8k set off at the start, but once spread out, it was fine, and there was plenty of room all through. Really friendly when I got out, and lovely medal!
