The 2024 Cawsand swim will take place on Sunday 15th September with a swim time of around 9am

Registration will take place from 07.30 next to the beach at Cawsand Bay where you’ll be checked in by our team and given your event swim cap. 

At approximately 08.45 the water safety briefing will take place with an outline of the course and any update on the sea conditions.  

There are two distances;  2km and 4km.  

The 2km swim will see swimmers set off from the beach at Cawsand and swim along the Bay to Kingsand, to the Mermaid Buoy, to a 1km marker buoy and back inside the swim buoys.  The 4km swim will follow the same route and swim round twice.

Registration for the Cawsand Swim is £30 for the 2km swim and £35 for the 4km swim .
