London's Royal Docks Open Water Swimming

Dive headfirst into the Royal Docks in safety thanks to these open water swimming sessions, which run four times a week. Swimmers are tagged to make sure nothing goes wrong and qualified coaching is available should you feel you've thrown yourself in the deep end. Race distances are marked to help those training for competitive events. Children aged six and over are permitted but they must be able to swim 200m without stopping, wear a wetsuit and a tow float and must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
