I know a bit delayed but... a massive thank you to everyone for last Saturday's event.
Swimmers and volunteers were equally smiley and enthusiastic and we loved hosting the event - a massive thank you to all !
Finally, a bit thank you to YMCA Fairthorne Manor for letting us finish the swim at such a stunning location!

Great early morning news! The Paddlers Rest at YMCA Fairthorne Manor will be open when you finish your swim if you want a coffee or an ice cream (English weather variables!). It’s about a ten meter walk

Emails dropping now with the rearranged date of the 24th Sept for our Half River Swim. We can't wait to host you and if anyone couldn't make the original date and can now make this one, the link is below (being updated etc)!
thanks for your patience and I can't wait for a beer later!

We’ve done multiple inspections of the river this morning and our rule of “if we wouldn’t swim in it we won’t ask you to” means the swim is off. The water quality is too poor with the rain that has fallen (and planned to fall).
We are speaking to all the various bodies about pushing the swim back to the 24th Sept but will come back to you with options as soon as we know more. We are really sorry but our swimmers safety is our number 1 priority.

With 1 and a half coaches full for the Half River Swim on the 10th September we are green for go.
Our swim starts with a coach trip from Fairthorne to the start of the swim and then a simple swim back to Fairthorne with the tide giving you some gentle encouragement!!!
To fill the second coach, sign up here:

Unfortunately we've taken the hard decision to cancel this Saturday's SunRiser swim as we've just not had enough entries across the 3 events. For those entered, you will receive a full refund this evening.
Our half river swim in September already has nearly as many entries as we had last year so it just means we can focus even more on that and giving the swimmers a great experience in the Hamble. Then back to the drawing board to look at what we can do make our swims and aquathons even better!

Lots of people entering this evening for next Saturday morning's swim, junior swim and aquathlon! So, you may as well join them!

Someone way wiser than me has told me that if we get more reviews on our page it helps on searches and stuff, sooo, could we please ask you to leave a review on the page (ideally with a lot of stars) to help us push up the ratings. Pretty please and many thanks in advance!

Mike and Stefan have created a series of small fun swimming events on the Hamble River to enable swimmers of all levels to enjoy this amazing location in a safe environment whilst pushing themselves as far or as little as they want.
The events are laps of 750m where swimmers can cover as many laps as they want within 90 minutes. Swim for 9 minutes, 90 minutes or somewhere in between, our events are about you swimming as much or as a little as you want with the same level of support from the event team. If you want, get out after a bit, take a break and then go back in, the 90 minutes is for you to use as much or as little as you want. Whether you're a first time open water swimmer or someone training for another event, these swims are for you and all swimmers will receive a swim hat and a finishers token for completing the event.
