Swim the Night Returns

Swim the Night, the lido swimming challenge returns in 2027.

Swimming's best night out is back for a 4th event at the wonderful Hampton Pool (2/3 October 2027) and for our 2nd event at the stunning Guildford Lido (24/25 April 2027).

THE CHALLENGE:

Swim the Night is a challenge to swim 1km or 1 mile on the hour, every hour, through the night... for 12 hour or 24 hours. Our Guildford event includes both the 12 hour and 24 hour challenges. Hampton hosts just the 12 hour challenge.

INDIVIDUALS / TEAMS:

Swim as an individual or as a team. Teams can be 2-4 people. The event is both incredibly challenging and highly accessible. Training for the 'Channel'? maybe the Individual 24 hour challenges might be for you? Looking for a great challenge with your friends? Maybe a 12 hour challenge and a night under the stars will fit the bill.

GOOD TIMES:

Swim the Night is not a race, we always say that the winner is the person who enjoys it the most. Whilst not a race with prizes, we do time your swims, so you have a record of your own swim times in each of the 12 or 24 swims completed. This also means that your friends and family can follow your progress throughout the night, even if they are not there with you at the Lido.

CATERING & CAMPING:

The event caters for everyone, with a special Midnight BBQ meal (served after our 11pm swim) and a 'Breakfast of Champions' (served after our 5am swim). Camping overnight while you're doing the challenge is also a great way to rest between swims. You don't even need your own tent, as we have pre-erected rental tents available to save you time and hassle.

So, if you're looking for a different sort of event/challenge, and you want to experience something that few have done, which you couldn't do alone, then enter, bring your swim buddies and be ready to 'Swim the Night.
