Date: Sat 1st August 2026
Meeting Time: 8.30am in Aveton Gifford Car Park
Do the double iconic swim...the Bantham Swoosh into An Around Burgh Island, starting in Aveton Gifford and ending in Bigbury. This swim is 8.5km long, and takes in some of Devon's best scenery. We provide a gel pouch for each swimmer half way to keep energy levels up.
PRE REQUISITS: You must be able to swim 1km in a pool in 30 minutes or less (40 lengths of a standard pool) If you are not sure your swim time, you need to find this out before booking. You must be comfortable swimming around 5km. This swim is long, and tiring. If all swimmers in the group meet the 30 minute cut off, then the swim will take between 2.5-3 hours.
You will be contacted a few weeks before your swim with details about the swim, and then again within 48h to confirm the swim, and give any details about weather etc.

To purchase this swim for multiple people, please add multiple to your basket, and multiple names in to the boxes.
