Event overview
The event is now in it's 14th year and has a range of distances suited to all experience levels. Set within the picturesque Galloway hills and with some of the cleanest water in Scotland, it's hard to find a nicer place to swim. There will be a 500m, 1km, 2km and 4km distance, along with a short 100m kids Splash! swim (including some of the famous Wobbly Waterpark). The swims are completed around a 1km circular course (with the 500m doing a smaller lap).
