SUMMARY:The Henley Classic Swim
DESCRIPTION:Henley Classic Swim UK\nTHE HENLEY CLASSIC is a 2.1 km endurance upstream River Thames swimming event\, held over the Henley Royal Regatta course\, very early on the Sunday morning before the Wednesday start of Henley Royal Regatta. \nThis event is a celebration of mid-summer. It provides a unique opportunity to swim one of the most famous and beautiful stretches of open water in the world\, at what we believe is the most beautiful time of the day\, dawn. A key feature of the event is that you arrive in darkness and walk the 1/4 of a mile to the start into the sunrise\, led by the torch carrier. \nHenley Classic Wave Options\nThe Henley Classic swim has several wave options to choose from. \nSwimming on the Henley Regatta course is a privilege and we are very grateful for the support we receive. In return we have to be clear of the river by 0630 so it is important that you select the correct wave based on your anticipated swim time. \nPlease remember that it is an upstream swim so be realistic with your time and err on the side of caution – we really don’t want to stop anyone before they complete the course. \n0430 WAVE 1 (Sporting & Juniors) \nSelect this wave if you: \nwish to swim at leisure or alongside friends OR\nyou are a junior swimmer (age 14-17) or are accompanying a junior swimmer(s) \n0450 WAVE 2 \nSelect this wave if you comfortably average between 2 mins and 2 mins 30 secs per 100m during a distance swim. \n0510 WAVE 3 \nSelect this wave if you comfortably average between 1 min 45 secs and 2 mins per 100m during a distance swim. \n0530 WAVE 4 (Performance) \nSelect this wave if you wish to race hard (likely to be in the top 100 swimmers) and you comfortably average under 1 min 45 secs per 100m during a distance swim. \nWave times are provisional and may be subject to change \nTeams – There is one team competition. A team can be made up of any combination of male or female swimmers (but not elite) and any number. The four fastest times will qualify for the competition.  Create or join a team during the entry process. \nEvent Location\nThe Henley Classic is hosted at Temple Island Meadows\, which is just ¾ mile from Henley town centre. Parking is available at the event venue. \nSwim Course\nThe course is a unique\, straight line\, point-to point-swim (ie no turns) and takes advantage of the boomed course of the Henley Royal Regatta. The swim is upstream\, the strength of the stream varies from year-to-year\, ensuring that no two events are the same. \nVenue Facilities\nParking is available at the venue\nToilets and changing facilities will be provided\nHot & cold drinks & snacks will be available at the main event area \nCamping\nCamping is available in Glebe campsite\, with on-site facilities including toilets and showers. This is just a short walk to the main event area and is ¾ mile from Henley town centre. Details and prices to follow. \nHenley Classic Saturday Supper\nThere will be a supper available for campers and anyone staying locally. Details and prices to follow. \nSaturday Evening Registrations\nThe venue will be open on Saturday afternoon from 2pm. Anyone who would like to register for the event early\, to save time on the Sunday morning can register between 4pm and 6pm on the Saturday.\n\nWater Temperature\nThe water temperature at the Classic depends upon both the outside temperature and the quantity of rainfall in the days and weeks running up to the event. It is therefore very difficult to predict. \nBased on previous years\, at the beginning of July\, we would expect the water to be between 17 and 19 degrees centigrade. \nEntry Fee: Juniors (14-17) £39 / Adults (18+ on race day) £49
