Open Water

Training for Open Water Swimming occurs mostly in the summer, however, there are some cold water enthusiasts who enjoy swimming (or sometimes just a dip) during the winter months!

The main competition is the Varsity Open Water Competition against Cambridge, which takes place every summer. Every second year, 6 swimmers also form a relay to race a team from Cambridge across the English Channel.
