Coventry Building Society
Great North Swim

We are excited to announce that we are a new partner charity to this event. There are 6 different swim distances over the weekend, inviting all abilities to join. There will be a team of MWMT swimmers and we would love to have you join us.

The Coventry Building Society Great North Swim brings thousands of people together for a unique weekend of open water swimming, community, and Lake District beauty. Whether you’re tackling your first open water swim or going all-out for a 10K, there’s a place for you in the water. Expect a fully supported course, a festival atmosphere, incredible views and a shared sense of achievement.

The CBS Great North Swim at Brockhole on Windermere is a weekend-long festival of open water swimming. Expect stunning scenery, the best of local food and drink, outdoor activities, culture, art, history and thousands of like-minded people coming together. Think of it more as an open water adventure than a race. There’s plenty to keep swimmers and spectators entertained throughout the weekend, in and out of the water. New to Windermere? Find oumore about the stunning location and the surrounding area below.
