England’s most iconic island swim returns in September. It’s a complete lap of Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour.The swim is held in the spirit of self belief and madcap adventure started by the few who wondered
if they could swim around Brownsea Island. It is not so much a race but a voyage of discovery!
The swim has been run and organised by RLSS Poole Lifeguard, since 1991 non-profit charity providing lifesaving training to the local community. The club also provides safety cover to numerous open water events. This event is their main fund raising event and primary source of funding.
The swim is a 6.5km tidally assisted challenge. There are prizes in various categories and the swim is open to swimmers aged 18 and above on the day of the swim.
There is the option to swim in wetsuit or skins (no wetsuit). Please see the FAQs for advice on whether to take on a skins swim.
Unfortunately we can’t accommodate spectators. This is also covered in the FAQs
