24hr Wild Swim Relay
Swim. Sleep. Cake. Repeat.

An outdoor, team swimming event you can do with your friends, share cake at AND raise money to teach disabled children to swim?! Say no more.

Introducing our 24hr Swim Relay Series at four incredibly beautiful lakes across the UK. Described as ‘A swimming festival. Glastonbury, but with swimming instead of bands’, join us in 2024 and be part of this glorious community.

It’s not a race, timed or a competition in any way. You enter a team of up to 8 swimmers and you swim for an hour each, on rotation, for 24 hours. The challenge is keeping each other motivated and warm. The challenge is having the bravery to jump in a cold lake at 3am when all you want to do is sleep. The challenge is cheering the sunrise as a team mate has just completed a swim. You’ll be bonding around the fire pit sharing hugs, smiles and so much more cake.

Choose your lake below and learn more about these unique events. We can’t wait for you to join this amazing community in 2024.

The Glastonbury of Swimming

It felt like a swimming festival, like a Glastonbury with open water rather than bands. The community spirit really made it something special and all level waters staff really made it an event I’m looking forward to doing each year

Cheer the night

“I loved the camaraderie, with people cheering on everyone, even at 2am. The people (staff and swimmers) were all so lovely and it's such an incredible community to be part of - watching everyone going in for that last hour made me emotional! The night swims were my favourite moment as it was so magical and unlike anything I'd ever done before”

Unique & personal

The atmosphere was brilliant. The event itself is unique in being a personal/team endurance challenge rather than about speed or distance and although a few teams clearly wanted it to be competitive, the LW team was fantastic in promoting the inclusive, not a race message. The night time swims really are so special but also getting to swim as a team together was brilliant.

Best organised event ever

I’ve completed in events all around the world. Last couple of years I’ve started doing my own thing as it’s all become corporate nonsense and decided not to do ‘events’ anymore.
We decided to come swim this weekend as a bi of fun but I wasn’t really looking forward to it if I’m honest. However, I bloody loved it. Without doubt the best organised event I have done. You make it simple, effective, enjoyable and meanigful. You should all be proud.
