THE HENLEY SWIM is a celebration of mid-summer. It is a unique opportunity to swim one of the most famous and beautiful stretches of open water in the world, at what we believe is the most beautiful time of the day, dawn.

It is unique in that it is a straight line point to point swim (ie: no turns) and takes advantage of the 2.1km boomed course of the Henley Royal regatta.
 
Since the first swim in 2004 the swim has gone from strength to strength, attracting open water swimmers from around the globe.
 
A key feature of the event is the fact that you arrive in darkness, and walk one mile to the start into the sunrise. Once the safety briefing is completed getting into the inky black water at that time is a slightly surreal experience.
 
The swim is like no other open water swim you will have ever experienced and the feeling of having done it before most people have woken up is very self satisfying.
