A stunning early-morning Lock to Lock 4K swim on the beautiful River Thames, celebrating the very best of open-water swimming in Oxfordshire.

One swimmer described it as:

"A masterful event organised to perfection."

A huge thank you to everyone who makes these events so special—from our safety crews and volunteers to the organisers and supporters behind the scenes. The safety team were outstanding throughout: professional, supportive, friendly, and always there when needed.

The atmosphere, camaraderie, and sense of achievement make these swims truly memorable.
