Hi all,

Following a flash of inspiration during my morning swim, I've spent the day procrastinating and signing up for open water swimming events for next year. 

Other than the Scilly Isles swim (brrr, plus £££) and the Great Wales swim (sold out), does anyone have any other ideas? And/or would you be up for freestyling and sorting out our own swim/sauna-type thing. I think Simon had some thoughts on this.

All ideas welcome!

Could we not just post on here when entries open - that would give new members and others that members that haven't seen this post yet a chance to join as well? I'd be interested in a shorter swim or two, but 10k is definitely too far for me!

This one is open for entries. 500m, 1mile or 3.8mile swim in Keswick on 8 July 2018. I'm signing up for a mile. Should be a lovely Lake District swim.

Perfect, thanks Rosie. I've signed up for the one mile swim on Saturday 8 July.

Just been having a quick google. I found this website: http://www.epicevents.co.uk/open-water-swims/derwent-swim.html.

They're not too expensive either...

and there's this one:

which looks amazing...!

Yay! I'm going to sign up for the 3.8km. 

Is it 3.8km or 3.8 miles?

km :)

that's reassuring...I don't think I'd have lasted 3.8 miles! I'll have a think and post if I sign up (it clashes with Hever Aquabike!)

Oh no! I thought it was miles too, so I signed up for 1!!

I'm sure you can upgrade if you get in touch with the organisers.

I’ve kind of got the opposite problem ...having helped someone get ready for the Serpentibe swim last year I persuaded them that there is nothing as memorable as a swim in a beautiful lake in spectacular scenery...who is Welsh...so to show an example, as she is Welsh, I signed up to swim 8km...which is a long way to run for me nowadays :-)

Am trying to build up the courage to write my own training plan - think I’m going to need a drink
Are we doing the 2miles -ish then? 3.8km? I am up for that, haven’t been to the lakes for too long!

A Lakes swim sounds fun - just trying to work out what I'm signing up for next year - so many options....
