Bantham Swoosh

The Swoosh is a very low key event with minimal event infrastructure, all the better to enjoy ending the swim on one of the Devon's finest family surfing beaches, with picnics, family and friends. From the beach there are views of Bigbury Beach and Burgh Island, and at low tide there are miles of rock pools. The swim takes you from a narrow inland Devon river, surrounded by hills, into a different landscape on the edge of the sea.

The Bantham Swoosh 2016 will be taking place on Saturday 2 July 2016 with an afternoon meet and an evening swim. It's a 6km swim in a sandy bottomed estuary in Devon, culminating in a "swoosh" as the ebbing tide is funelled through a narrow section of river, speeding you along over the riverbed at up to four times your usual swimming speed.

SOLD OUT FOR 2016!
