Windermere Through Winter virtual challenges
Windermere Through Winter virtual challenges
Completing numerous challenges over the years Adventurous Swimmer have introduced their own to help encourage others to swim throughout winter.
Swim the length of your chosen UK lake in a space of four months in any outdoor unheated setting and you can get a badge or your own thermal flask. Running from 1st November 2024 to 1st March 2025, water temperature is not important, the aim is simply to swim the distances:
· Winter-mere: 18km
· Ulls-winter: 12km
· Cold-iston: 8.5km
· Chill-mere: 6km
· Bitter-mere: 2km
Don’t forget – this is an open water swim challenge and water temperatures drop rapidly in winter, respect the cold water and stay safe. Both wetsuits and skins are welcome.
