SUMMARY:Swim Serpentine London
DESCRIPTION:  \nEntries are now open for the new events that have been added to Swim Serpentine\, the open water swimming festival that will return to Hyde Park on Saturday 16 September 2017. \nSwimmers now have the choice of a half-mile and two-mile swim\, in addition to the hugely popular one-mile mass-participation swim which returns for the second year of the event. \nIn addition\, the organisers have created the Swim Serpentine Super Six challenge\, which offers the chance for swimmers to take on the challenge of swimming a total of six miles in five different races during the day. \n“We have added these new events to the Swim Serpentine programme so that swimmers of all ages and abilities can enjoy open water swimming in the spectacular setting of the Serpentine\,” said Hugh Brasher\, Event Director. “In 2017\, we look forward to welcoming swimmers from the age of 12 in the new half mile event and the very experienced open water swimmers who take on the Swim Serpentine Super Six challenge. \n“With thousands of swimmers participating in the mass participation one mile events plus the great free family festival around the lake\, it’s going to be a fantastic day.” \nThe new events are: \n\nHalf mile: entry fee £25.00 (minimum age 12 on 16 September 2017)\nTwo miles: entry fee £49.00 (minimum age 16)\nSuper Six: entry fee £150.00 (minimum age 18)\n\nThe entry fee for the one mile event is £39.00 and the minimum age for entry is 16 on the day. \nUp to 6\,000 swimmers will be accepted for the one-mile mass-participation event. Every swimmer will be able to choose a specific start wave which go off at regular intervals during the day. Wetsuits or tow floats are compulsory in all events. Both wetsuit and tow-float hire will be available beforehand and at the Serpentine on the day. \nOnline Entry\nEntering Swim Serpentine\nOnline entry for all events at Swim Serpentine is now open. Entry is on a first come\, first served basis so enter now to avoid disappointment. \nEntries for all events close at 17:00 on Thursday 27 July 2017. \nHalf-Mile Swim\nThis distance is an ideal entry level open water swim. Taking in half a lap of the Serpentine\, there is plenty of time to swim this distance at your leisure with a friend\, race your mum or dad or just to try out an open water swimming event with an achievable but for some still challenging swim.  Numbers are limited for this event\, which will be held in the morning of Swim Serpentine\, so don’t delay. \nHalf Mile Entry \nEntry costs £25. Entrants must be at least 12 years old on Saturday 16 September 2017. \nOne-Mile Swim\nA one-mile swim is a classic distance in the world of open water swimming events. Swim Serpentine takes place on the same course as the London 2012 Marathon Swimming Olympic event\, with one full lap around the Serpentine making up the one-mile swim. This is the most popular of all the swim distances for Swim Serpentine with swimmers taking anything from 20 minutes through to one hour to complete the swim. \nOne Mile Entry \nEntry costs £39. Entrants must be at least 16 years old on Saturday 16 September 2017. \nTwo-Mile Swim\nFor those who would like to test themselves with two full (1.6km) laps of the Serpentine. Aimed at more experienced swimmers who have already completed a mile open water swim previously. A challenging two-lap swim set in a beautiful location: what’s not to like? \nTwo Mile Entry \nEntry costs £49. Entrants must be at least 16 years old on Saturday 16 September 2017. \nSuper Six\nSwim six miles with a combination of one-mile and two-mile events during the day. All the ‘Super Sixers’ will start in the same one-mile wave\, then how you complete the total distance is up to you. Choose to swim event after event\, or take a break before you continue on with your swim. \nDon’t underestimate this challenge – swimming for 10km straight is one thing\, but the challenge for this swim is that the swimmer must to get out the water between each one or two-mile swim and wait for the next event to start\, which makes this a tough challenge for any experienced swimmer. But with a special coloured swim hat for the Super Sixers and very limited spaces available\, you’ll be treated like a true ‘Super (Six)’ Hero for the day. \nEntry costs £150 and is limited to 60 swimmers. Entrants must be at least 18 years old on Saturday 16 September 2017. \nElite One-Mile Invitational Race\nEntry into the Elite One-Mile Race is by invitation only.

Para swimmers should have international experience in the pool or triathlon and are selected by the Para elite manager. \nWetsuit & tow-float hire\nWetsuits are optional when the water temperature is over 15 degrees. However\, for safety reasons\, all swimmers must either wear a wetsuit or use a tow-float for all Swim Serpentine events. \nAs an official partner of Swim Serpentine\, HUUB will provide wetsuits\, swimwear and swim accessories to all swimmers looking to hire or purchase equipment for the event.

If you do not choose a wave\, you will be allocated one according to your predicted finishing time. \nChange of address\nIf you change your address after applying\, please email changeofaddress@londonmarathonevents.co.uk with your name\, date of birth\, telephone number\, old address and your new address. \nYour address details will then be changed in our system and a confirmation will be emailed to you when this has been done. \nPlease do not call the helpdesk with changes of address as these can only be processed by email. \nAge Group Prizes\nAlthough the focus of the event is on having fun\, prizes will be awarded to first\, second and third-placed swimmers in each age category.

SUMMARY:Oxford Classic 1 Mile Swim
DESCRIPTION:Oxford Classic 1 Mile Swim\nSwim Oxford is passionate about bringing you stunning open water swimming events in and around Oxford. From the Oxford Classic Mile to the marathon 10k Lock to Lock swim. Swim Oxford aims to cater for all abilities from those new to open water swimming through to experienced swimmers wanting to stretch themselves with a serious long distance swim. \nEvent Details\nYou will be swimming upstream\, so against the gentle flow of old Father Thames\, or Isis at this point. In September there is very little flow on the river\, but a more adventurous experience will be gained by all.  \nSetting off from Donnington Bridge you will be swimming upstream towards Christ Church Meadows\, passing the historic bathing spot at Long Bridges on the left. All swimmers will be on the right hand side of the river in a well marked course and escorted by safety canoeist. You will swim past\, on your right the nature reserve\, know as Aston’s Eyot. Aston’s Eyot is a 33-acre island on the east bank of the River Thames in the city of Oxford\, southeast of Christ Church Meadow.  \nMaking your way past the famous boat houses on the right \, heading towards the finish\, you will be faced with a large River Buoy\, a final turn around this and head back down stream towards the platform where you will exit. Once out of the water make your way to the changing tents and Swim Oxford refreshments tent. Enjoy this location in all its splendour within the heart of Oxford.  \nFAQ \nDoes the river have a fast flow?\nThe flow differs from one day to the next based on factors such as rain fall\, opening of locks etc. The flow is generally fairly slow.  \nWhich side of the river should I swim on?\nThe Environment Agency\, who grant us permission to run the Lock to Lock events\, ask that swimmers stay to the right of the river wherever possible. Boats and other river users also navigate on the right so\, as river users\, we need to adhere to the same rules. There are occasions when it is safer to swim closer to the middle of the river. On some of the tree-lined sections of the course there can be obstacles such as submerged branches and tree roots that could be dangerous or cause injury if snagged. Our safety kayakers will help alert you to these obstacles en-route. \nDo I have to wear a wetsuit?\nWetsuits are mandatory for this event unless you are an experienced open water swimmer and have our permission\, in writing\, in advance to swim without.  \nWill I be safe in the water?\nSafety is our utmost concern. We have safety kayakers paddling with you along the length of the course and we have spotters on the shore. We also have medics at the event should you require any medical attention. \nWhat if I feel I can’t finish the swim?\nWe hope that everyone will have trained enough to complete the full length of the course. However we do realise that this may be the first time some participants have swum this distance in a river and we will have support boats nearby should you experience any difficulties. There will also be exit points along the course. \nIs the water clean?\nThe water will be tested to environmental safety standards before the swim. In 2015 the water test passed with a “high” cleanliness rating. \nWhat will the water temperature be?\nThe water temperature will very much depend on weather conditions leading up to the event. In September 2015 the water temperature was 15-17 degrees centigrade. \nIs there a chance of becoming ill during the swim?\nPublic Health England publish a leaflet on the risk of illness when open water swimming\, which can be viewed here. We always follow these guidelines and have never become unwell during or after swimming this stretch of the Thames. Public Health England recommend “before you swim to cover cuts\, scratches or sores with a waterproof plaster before swimming\, consider wearing appropriate protective clothing such as a wetsuit\, gloves and/or protective footwear. While you are swimming try to avoid swallowing and/or splashing water into your mouth\, observe local safety advice. After swimming ensure you clean your hands thoroughly with soap and water after swimming and before handling/eating food\, thoroughly clean cuts or abrasions using soap and water\, handle your wetsuit with care after use\, rinse it with clean water as soon as is practicable after swimming\, clean with detergent and rinse as advised by the manufacturer\, always wash your hands with soap and water after handling or cleaning your wetsuit and allow the suit to dry thoroughly before reuse.” \nWhere can I park?\nCar parks will be either at the Sea Scouts field next door to the Falcon Rowing club site and/or Freelands Road\, opposite to Falcon Rowing club near Donnington Bridge. \nSo I park at the start of the swim course. How do I get back to my car?\nOptions:\nPublic transport\, bus from the finish point Folly bridge back to Donnington Bridge 10 minute ride.\nTake the wonderful walk on the tow path less than a mile back to your car\, recommended. \nWhere will the toilets be?\nToilets will be at the start point and finish point. \nWhat do I do with my bags?\nAt the start once you have registered & changed into your wetsuit you can then hand in your bags that will be transported to the finish. At the finish you’ll have to hand in your supplied tag to collect your bags. We recommend that you include some warm clothes. The collection team will ask to see you number before releasing any belongings. Car keys\, etc will be safe in your bags and a safety team will handle all bags in a marshalled area. \nWhat do I do while I’m waiting for the bus at the end of the swim?\nWhen you’ve finished your swim and changed into your warm clothes we invite you to enjoy a coffee or tea with a slice of homemade cake. \nCan under 18s swim in this event?\nFor this particular event we are able to get insurance for 14’s and above however\, in addition to signing the waiver when you buy your under 18’s ticket\, you must send a letter from a parent/guardian stating that your child is a strong swimmer\, swims regularly with a club and has previous necessary open water experience\, swimming against adults. This must be signed and either posted to Swim Oxford\, 52 Witney Road\, Eynsham\, Oxford\, OX29 4PQ or scanned and emailed to darrin@swimoxford.co.uk. This must be received by us no later than two weeks prior to the swim event date. \nDetails:\nDate: Sunday 3th September 2017\nRegistration: 9.00am\nFirst wave: 11am\nStart: Donnington Bridge\, Oxfordshire\nFinish: Folly Bridge\, Oxfordshire\nDistance: 1 mile upstream\nEntry fee: £36
