River swim

FRIDAY 26 JULY 2019

RESULTS – River Swim finish times.

The SLSC River Thames swim is a one-mile summer evening swim down the Thames from Kingston Bridge to the Royal Canoe Club at Trowlock Island, followed by beer and barbecue.

Enter below to compete for one of the three club handicap and open trophies or glide along the Thames inspecting the riverside gardens.

Open to SLSC members only. Entries are limited to maximum of 50 swimmers.

This is a race, not an introductory tutorial to open water swimming. Although a flotilla of safety canoes will cover all competitors, every swimmer must be confident swimming one mile in open water. The Swim Captain’s decision on competency is final.

After the swim, grab a drink from the Royal Canoe Club bar and tuck into a delicious barbecue (the food is included in the race fee). We can’t think of a better way to spend a Friday evening in July.

If you are bringing supporters please buy barbecue tickets – only £15 – BOOK HERE.

If you have any questions please email Charles on swimcaptain@slsc.org.uk

  • Registration is from 6pm to 6.45pm at the Royal Canoe Club, Trowlock Way, Teddington TW11 9QY.
