For the third event in the 2012 Speedo Open Water Swim Series we return to Windsor, and the River Thames for one of the more challenging (and rewarding) events in the series.
Open water swimming in the Thames is an amazing challenge whether you are an elite or a beginner and taking to the water at the historic location of Windsor is a truly unforgettable experience. Following a similar route to the swim leg of the legendary Windsor Triathlon, you’ll be swimming against an iconic backdrop in a stunning location. You can choose from 750 metres, 1500 metres or the full 3 kilometres, all of which start and finish along the bank by Alexandra Gardens.
As with every event in the series, the Windsor Swim provides unparalleled levels of water safety with the experienced and knowledgeable Human Race Water Safety Crew looking after you at every stroke. After some great feedback from the 2011 Series participants, we have decided to open up the non-wetsuit option to all swimmers, provided the water is over 14 degrees on the day. All you have to do is select the non-wetsuit option when you enter online. So if you are training for a channel crossing, or just want to immerse yourself in the full ‘open water swim’ experience of swimming in the River Thames, this is the event for you! Don’t worry, you can still use your wetsuit on the day if you like.
All swimmers will receive an event swim cap and an exclusive Speedo Swim Series medal engraved with the Windsor Swim race and date – so you’ll be able to collect the full set through the series! Event-specific t-shirts are also available for purchase via the event entry page and there will be lots of goodies on the day from our event partners.
The Windsor Swim is great for spectators who can watch the action from various vantage points around the course. The start and finish are great vantage points, as is the bank between the two points, where spectators can follow along, cheering as they go of course.
Changing areas, baggage store and toilets will all be available within the event village, as will our retail partners in case you forget your goggles, or worse, your swim suit!
