Swim the Night takes place twice a year, at Guildford Lido in April (12 or 24 hour event) and at Hampton Heated Open Air Pool in Octoner (12 hour event). Take on Swim the Night as an individual or as a team of 2, 3 or 4. Whether you swim solo or share the distance with teammates, camaraderie and commitment will carry you through the night.

Between swims, the Swim the Night Village keeps you fuelled and spirits high – grab a midnight meal, a hot chocolate or a coffee, catch a nap in your tent, and cheer on your fellow swimmers as you count down to the celebratory breakfast finish.

Vibrant community spirit

This isn't a race - it's a journey of camaraderie and community. What better way to meet others as crazy as you are?!

A unique challenge

A challenge like no other. Whether you are a social swimmer and fancy a team night out - or an aspiring channel swimmer looking to push yourself with some serious endurance - we have a category to suit you.

The best midnight feast!

Fuel your night with a proper midnight BBQ — think juicy burgers, fresh salads and all the energy you need to keep going. And as the sun creeps up over the horizon, reward yourself with a well-earned breakfast bap to see you over the finish line.
