We're really excited about our Open Water 2024 series with Swim Ulster. It's going to be a great set of swims across some beautiful locations, starting with a brisk winter dip in February and moving through to a friendly race in September. We've got something for everyone, whether you're looking to challenge yourself in a new environment or just want to enjoy a swim in the great outdoors with others who love the water as much as you do.

 

This year is all about bringing people together to enjoy swimming. There's the peaceful Carrickfergus event in May, perfect for newcomers, and the vibrant festival at Cushendun in August, where swimming meets local celebration. We're looking forward to seeing familiar faces and welcoming new ones to our community. So, mark your calendars and let's make some memories in the water this 2024.

 

 

**Please note that the scheduled events for the summer of 2024 are subject to potential changes. We strive to provide a professional and well-organized open water swimming experience, and as such we may need to make small adjustments to the event calendar due to unforeseen circumstances or factors beyond our control
