The Great North Swim is the UK’s biggest open-water swimming event - a weekend-long celebration of open water swimming in Windermere taking place on 7 – 9 June 2024.

Expect stunning scenery, the best of local food and drink, outdoor activities, culture, art, history and thousands of like-minded people coming together. Think of it more as an open water adventure than a race.

Picture this: a mile-long swim in the breath-taking Lake Windermere. Whether you're a seasoned swimmer or just looking for a refreshing challenge, this is your chance to embrace the beauty of open water swimming and make a meaningful impact.

But this isn't just about the swim; it's about supporting those who tirelessly care for others. Raising funds for Carer Support South Lakes, a Charity that provides vital support to unpaid Carers in the South Lakes.

Carers selflessly dedicate their time and energy to supporting their loved ones, often at the expense of their own well-being. Carer Support South Lakes plays a crucial role in providing these unsung heroes with the assistance, resources, and respite they need. By supporting this cause, you are directly contributing to the well-being of individuals who devote their lives to caring for others.
