📣 THE BIGGEST VIBES AT DOCK2DOCK® 2026! 🔥🌊

We’ve already crowned our Team Champs, but team spirit isn’t just about bringing the biggest team…

So, a HUGE shout-out to Be Endurance Bathers, Hadleigh Plungers, SwimmerBoltz and Black Tri Tribe for bringing some serious energy to the Royal Docks this year! 🙌

Yes, you showed up for your teammates – but what we loved most was seeing you show up for everyone else too.

You cheered for every swimmer. You celebrated complete strangers crossing the finish line. You brought the noise when someone needed that final push. And you helped create the kind of atmosphere that makes Dock2Dock® feel like one big open water community. 💙

Be Endurance Bathers. Hadleigh Plungers. SwimmerBoltz. Black Tri Tribe.

You brought the people.
You brought the noise.
You brought the iconic VIBES! 🔥👏

This is what Dock2Dock® is all about. 🌊💙

Who’s bringing the BIG energy in 2027? 👀

🏆🚩 THEY CAME. THEY SWAM. THEY DEFENDED THEIR TITLE!

A HUGE congratulations to Be Endurance Bathers – our Dock2Dock® 2026 TEAM CHAMPS! 👏🌊

They came back this year determined to defend their crown as the biggest team at Dock2Dock®… and they did exactly that!

So, once again, they head home with the flag, the pride and – most importantly – 12 whole months of bragging rights! 😂🏆

But we know there are plenty of up-and-coming teams with their eyes firmly on that flag… 👀

Could 2027 be the year someone knocks Be Endurance Bathers off the top spot? Or will they make it another year as Dock2Dock® Team Champs?

The challenge has officially been set.

💛 THE YELLOW BRIGADE! 💛

Behind every Dock2Dock® is an incredible team of staff and volunteers working tirelessly to make the day happen – and thanks to their unmistakable bright yellow T-shirts, you definitely can’t miss them!

From the very early starts and setting up the event village, to welcoming swimmers, answering questions, handing out medals, cheering you over the finish line and everything in between, The Yellow Brigade are at the heart of Dock2Dock®.

Their energy, enthusiasm and willingness to get stuck in help create the friendly, fun and supportive atmosphere that makes this event so special.

We really couldn’t deliver an iconic event like Dock2Dock® without them.

So, to every single member of our 2026 Yellow Brigade – THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU TIMES INFINITY! 💛👏

📸🎥 Capturing the smiles, the nerves, the celebrations… and everything in between!

A huge THANK YOU to Emma, our photographer, and Ben, our videographer, for capturing all the action and atmosphere of Dock2Dock® 2026.

With more than a thousand swimmers taking on the Royal Docks, there were plenty of moments to capture – from the anticipation at the start line and action out on the water, to those all-important finish-line smiles, hugs and celebrations. 💙🌊

Thanks to Emma and Ben, we get to relive those moments long after the last swimmer has left the water.

And we’ve still got plenty more photos and video from the day to share, so keep your eyes peeled! 👀 We will be releasing the official photo gallery soon via our NOWCA Wild group - DOCK2DOCK.

Thank you both for helping us capture what makes Dock2Dock® so special. 🙌

🎤 A huge Dock2Dock® thank you to Sonia Fraser!

Every Event Village needs someone to bring the energy, and this year the brilliant Sonia Fraser was on the mic keeping the tunes playing, the announcements flowing and the Dock2Dock® vibes going all day long! 🎶🌊

As our Event Village MC, Sonia helped create the atmosphere that kept swimmers and supporters entertained from the first arrivals through to the celebrations at the finish.

When she’s not bringing the energy to Dock2Dock®, Sonia is a radio DJ and host of Sonia’s Music Box on Totally Wired Radio (TWR), playing on the first Saturday of every month. 📻🎵

Thank you, Sonia, for bringing the soundtrack, the energy and plenty of personality to Dock2Dock® 2026! 💙

*** Sonia’s Music Box is a collection of musical styles that moves the soul and hopefully will do the same for you too. Musical flavours include soul, R&B, House and Rare Groove. But this girl loves music ALL music – so don’t be surprised to hear a mash up of styles from Stevie Wonder, Floetry, Fleetwood Mac, Sergio Mendes or an obscure album track. Good music is good music both old and new.

🔥 Warm, ready… SWIM! 🏊‍♀️

A huge thank you to Rebecca Wetten for getting our Dock2Dock® swimmers warmed up and ready to go before each distance this year!

Rebecca led our pre-swim warm-up sessions, helping swimmers get their bodies moving, settle those start-line nerves and prepare to take on everything from the 1.5k right through to the EPIC 15k. 💪🌊

Rebecca is also the co-founder of Catch Swim – the UK’s #1 coaching app, helping swimmers access personalised, expert coaching and structured training wherever they swim.

Fancy giving Catch a go? Dock2Dock® and NOWCA swimmers can sign up for a 30-day free trial and then get £25 off using discount code: NOWCA26.

A massive thank you to Rebecca and Catch for being part of Dock2Dock® 2026! 🙌💙

📣 If you were on the Dock2Dock® start line, you’ll definitely remember this voice…

A massive thank you to Wouter Moerloose – aka Woo-Woo – our brilliant Start Area MC! 🎤🌊

And this wasn’t exactly a short trip to work… Woo-Woo is based in New Zealand and flew all the way over specifically to join us at Dock2Dock®! ✈️

Standing on the start line of a big swim can bring plenty of nerves, so having someone who can make you laugh, keep the energy high and get you fired up before heading into the water makes all the difference.

Luckily for us, Woo-Woo happens to be an award-winning comedian, so he was pretty well qualified for the job! 😂

Thank you, Woo-Woo, for travelling halfway around the world to keep our start waves entertained, informed and smiling before sending them off on their Dock2Dock® adventure. We loved having you as part of the team! 💙

Want some more Woo-Woo in your life? Give him a follow on Instagram! 👏

💙 A little love for two more of our brilliant Dock2Dock® partners! 💙

First up, a huge THANK YOU to VOOM for helping keep our swimmers hydrated throughout the day and providing the energy bars waiting at the finish line – because after a Dock2Dock® swim, a little refuelling is definitely well earned! 💪⚡

And a massive shout-out to Barracuda Bay for this year’s fantastic swimmer gift! 🎁

Every Dock2Dock® swimmer received a waterproof changing mat – perfect for getting changed after an open water swim without getting wet, muddy feet. But there’s a clever twist… once you’re changed, it converts into a handy bag for carrying your wet kit home. 🙌🌊

Practical, reusable and something our swimmers can take on plenty more open water adventures – we absolutely loved it!

Thank you VOOM and Barracuda Bay for helping us look after our swimmers before, during and after their Dock2Dock® challenge. 👏💙
