Event overview

Starting on the rocket, swimmers can race or leisurely complete one lap (500m) of the quarry. It’s long enough for you to experience the beauty of night swimming in safe secure surroundings but short enough that you get to the end before the chill sets in! We do have glow sticks for each swimmer but would prefer no to use them as we appreciate they aren’t very environmentally friendly. We’re asking swimmers to bring a tow float; a much more environmentally friendly way to be seen. Following the swim, you can warm up with a hot chocolate and then enjoy the fireworks display. If you’re looking for something different and memorable, then you’ve come to the right place…

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
