The Dart 10k was the first, and is arguably the finest, 10k swim on the open water calendar, growing from 200 to 1600 swimmers a year over ten years. The course of the Dart 10K is a unique journey punctuated by landmarks such as the Cormorant Tree, the white rock, Sharpham boathouse and Bow Creek. Its supported by volunteers from the local and swimming community, who make it one of the most special events in the swimming calendar. Its a journey, not a race we have fast swimmers, skins swimmers, swimming families (everyone 16 and over is welcome), disabled swimmers, newbies, butterfly swimmers, leisurely swimmers whatever the level, theres room for everyone in the river.
