I signed myself up for the 1 mile swim and my 10year old daughter for the 200m splash. We both thoroughly enjoyed the swim and the overall event. It was very well organised and in a beautiful setting. Lots to view in the event village and a great guy on the MC giving plenty of warning for up coming races. My daughter having never swam in open water before came 1st in her age category and was given a gold medal which has boosted her confidence and she now has not stopped asking if she can go again. What a great safe and fun environment to get her into the open water. I would definitely recommend the Swim Festival and will be booking again for us both (plus my son who will be old enough then) for next year!!
