Athlete briefing
Great North Swim is a swimming event in Windermere, England on open water surface. ATHRECS lists public facts so you can decide whether to enter — it is not the official athlete guide. Next date on ATHRECS is Fri, 11 Jun 2027.
An open-water or pool race. Cut-offs, wave starts and wetsuit policy come from the organiser. Never treat a listing time as a guarantee of water conditions.
Course maps, start lists, cut-offs, prices and eligibility live on the official page. We do not copy those documents. If a fact here disagrees with the organiser, the organiser is right.
Before you go
- Entry confirmation and start time from the official page
- Travel time to the venue, plus a buffer for parking or transit
- Weather for the start hour in the local timezone
- Wetsuit rule and water temperature
- Cap, goggles and bright tow-float if required
- Cut-off and safety-cover details
Venue and travel
Times are local to the venue (BST). Parking and transit are ATHRECS estimates unless a postcode lookup is stored — confirm on the official page.
