Organiser's Description

Weymouth Bay is an iconic piece of water with stunning views over the spectacular Jurassic Coast and an amazing Georgian seafront. Swim The Bay is a point to point swim offering a choice of 1.2 miles (half the bay) or 2.4 miles (the full bay). This is probably the most perfect spectator-friendly swim, as supporters can walk the whole length of the beach alongside the swim, stopping at cafes en route for leisurely food and drink.

The full swim will start at Bowleaze Coveway; the half swim will start alongside the groyne opposite Lodmoor Country Park. Both distances will exit the water on the beach alongside the Pier and will finish on the beach in a mini stadium. (Date tbc)
