Service Description

The Juniors only - LONDON BRIDGE - SWIM ADVENTURE is a key addition to our junior open water swimming block and their summer OWS experience. We have used our London Bridge Swim Adventure route to create something fun for all ability of junior. The chance to achieve a big swim distance whilst also having the option to remain on the boat and join in the fun parts, or a bit of both... There is the opportunity to swim the entire route, accumulating 1km-1.5km (depending on the line taken). This is the distance from the start to the highlight of the swim, LONDON BRIDGE, and all juniors will cover in one way or another. However, the real aim here is to have LOTS OF FUN! Its not simply about swimming. We have a boat seat for everyone at the same time. We use the boats liberally to taxi the juniors from spot to spot. The swim includes stunning scenery, cliff jumps under the supervision of staff, and caves (guided through by staff). The peek of the swim is going through the London Bridge arch, which we aim to go through together, adding to the atmosphere! The route begins at Meadfoot beach, by the Café, diving centre and toilets (there is a pay and display car-park at the other end of the beach, about ten-minute walk but also street parking nearer by). We will meet swimmers at the top of the slipway where we will do a safety briefing for parents and guardians to hear as well (here we will set out the best places to walk to and watch your junior). We will store a hot and drink for each swimmer on the boats and will of course have first aid and warm blankets for emergency. Any medication can be stowed on the boat is necessary. Once we arrive at the London Bridge arch, it's time to play on the rocks and jump in and generally have fun. Get together for a hot chocolate and ride back on the boat. The swimmers will be in and out of the water throughout. We finish with everyone back to the slipway at 12pm.
