Get ready for the 2024 Cumbria Open Water League (COWL) organized by Epic Events Management, now in its sixth season. This year, the Epic swim series features three exciting events: Epic Ullswater on June 1st, Epic Coniston on July 7th, and Epic Windermere on August 11th. Participants must meet the minimum age requirements for each distance, which are 750m for 11 years old, 1500m for 14 years old, and 3km or 5km for 17 years old and above. The championship results will be determined from a swimmer's best two out of the three events. Additionally, a Masters category has been introduced as a trial event for swimmers in the age groups of V40, V50, V60, and V70 to swim 1500m. Make sure to stay updated with the entry conditions and risk assessments that will be posted on Swim Cumbria's webpage. Save the date for the SENWR Open Water Championship on June 29th at Sale Water Park, where age/distance categories will be confirmed soon. Keep in mind that depending on the water temperature, this may be a non-wetsuit event, so read the entry conditions and rules carefully.
