2010 British Gas Great East Swim
Entries have opened for the 2010 British Gas Great East Swim, with the inspiring swim returning to Alton Water, near Ipswich, on Saturday 19 June.
The inaugural British Gas Great East Swim took place in the summer of 2009 and was a huge success with just under 1,500 swimmers taking the plunge.
The one-mile public swimming event took place in picturesque Alton Water reservoir and attracted swimmers of all shapes and sizes from a 36 year old mother of three with a fear of deep water to an 86 year old Grandad. In addition to the masses, many of the world’s top swimmers and Olympic heroes battled it out to take the honours in the elite races.
The event is part of the British Gas Great Swim series of four one-mile outdoor swims staged in some of the most stunning locations in the UK.
The Great East Swim costs £30 to enter which includes; your entry fee, event pack (Great Swim swim hat to keep and timing chip), Great Swim souvenir medal and t-shirt, not to mention the huge sense of achievement.
Great Swim is open to swimmers of all abilities aged 16 years and over. For more information on the other dates and to enter online go to www.greatswim.org.
