John West Great Swim Series

The John West Great Swim event series is back in 2021

We're delighted to announce the return of the John West Great Swim Series in 2021.
It was in difficult circumstances that we had to cancel the events earlier this year, but it's with great excitement that we're bringing the UK's original open water swim series back in 2021.
