Wild Swim Relay

Introducing our Wild Swim Relay Series at five incredibly beautiful lakes across the UK.

You enter a team of swimmers and you swim for an hour each, on rotation, for 12/24 hours. It’s not a race, timed or a competition in any way. Summon your swim buddies and join us in 2025.

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.
