Taking place on 19th-20th March, the weekend will be jam packed with inspirational speakers, interactive features and over 200 exhibitors showing the best of the best for the start of the season ahead.

We’ll have an Outdoor Swimmer stall over the weekend so you can come and have a chat with our enthusiastic little team, and talk all things outdoor swimming. If you have any open water swimming queries or just want to catch up, come and find us! We can’t wait to see you all.

Our founder Simon will be giving a talk on the Inspiration Stage on the Sunday at 1:30pm, discussing the what, where, who, when, why and how of outdoor swimming. He’ll be joined by the likes of Rachel Ashe, founder of Mental Health Swims, and Michelle Walker from The Rivers Trust.

We’re also excited to catch the likes of Ben Fogle and Julia Bradbury’s fireside chats, Jessie Dufton on Climbing Blind, and The Wave on the Power of Blue.
