About

Join Uswim! At the Madchester Swim event in Salford Quays on Saturday 18th May 2024. The event promises a friendly atmosphere with swim distances catering to all abilities, from 500m to 5 miles. Whether you're a seasoned pro in wetsuits or a first-timer braving the water in skins, everyone is encouraged to take part. Registration fees range from £15.00 for junior participants to £55.00 for the longer distances. Trophies await the fastest skin and wetsuit swimmers for the 1 and 3-mile events, with special awards for junior champions as well. MediaCityUK will serve as the striking backdrop for the event, offering a fitting setting for the swimming challenge. Make use of the convenient parking in the Quayside car park next to the venue and gear up for an exciting day. Registration will open at specific times based on the swim distances, so be sure to arrive on time. Changing facilities and timing chips will be provided to ensure smooth sailing throughout the event. The water temperature is expected to be around 15 °C, so participants should come prepared for the chilly dip. Wetsuits are recommended for those who may feel the cold, and prior open water swimming sessions can help acclimatise to the conditions. If you require an inhaler, remember to label it and hand it in at registration for safekeeping. Follow Uswim!'s Openwater Facebook group or track event updates on Twitter using the #UswimOpenwater and #GreaterManchesterSwim hashtags. Embrace the joy of open water swimming amidst the stunning surroundings of MediacityUK. Get ready to dive in and make a splash at the Madchester Swim event!
