Start your open water journey with Open Water Swimathon 2019 and join Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie to raise as much money as possible for two causes close to the nation’s hearts.
Open Water Swimathon will take place from Saturday 7 - Sunday 8 September. We have a range of distances available (from 500m up to 5k), which makes it the perfect challenge for both experienced open water swimmers, and those transferring from the pool to the open water for the first time!
Choose to take part in an organised session at one of our registered venues or take part at a time and place which works for you with MySwimathon.
Meet our first ever Open Water Swimathon Ambassadors and find out why they wanted to get involved in this year’s event! We’ll be following their swimming and fundraising journey right up until event day and beyond.

Here, Duncan led a fun swimming session followed by an inspirational assembly and a Q&A session.
Here at Open Water Swimathon, we are super excited to announce the launch of our Open Water Swimathon Summer Competition! This incredible opportunity will give all our swimmers the chance to win some amazing prizes courtesy of our partners.
