Join our celebration at Canary Wharf's incredible 50m pool, floating in Eden Dock, Canary Wharf. Newly opened in July 2026, this pool brings new open water swimming opportunities to London's iconic business quarter. Amid high-rises and office blocks, it's a joyful celebration of community, the health and wellbeing benefits of cold water, and what makes swimming in the city so very special.

Our pool party will feature small‑group coaching sessions for a wide range of swimmers led by expert coaches from Outdoor Swimmer, including Founder Simon, Editor Ella, Features Writer Rowan and our resident Olympian, Alice Dearing.

Zoggs will be there with gear advice, you'll be able to chat to SwimTrek, SwimTayka and Open Swim, and swap your preloved gear in our Swap Shop with Leisure Loop. You'll be able to use the sauna, swim in the pool, and join an open water session in the docks. With delicious food and drinks from the Dockside Bar & Kitchen, swimming stalls, and an Outdoor Swimmer poolside chat hosted by Ella Foote, it's all about connection, confidence and celebrating the outdoor swimming community.
