EmailJoin Go With The Flow for a relaxing evening swim down the River Avon. There couldn't be a lovelier way to unwind and re-energise your body after a long old day.
The evening will begin with a 1km walk along the river to the starting point. You will then have the choice of swimming a distance of 1/2km.
You might fancy a long gentle swim 1km downstream, as you take in the beautiful scenery, kingfishers and local wildlife. Or maybe you want to head upstream 500m, before turning around and freestyle swimming back down the river to rejoin your group for cake and a chat.
Provided you can swim 1000m in any stroke and at any speed, this experience is for you.
Get useful information on how to stay safe when river swimming from your hosts. Receive tips on where to swim and what to look out for. You will be accompanied in the water during your swim by Sally, Andrea and Julie - all qualified, insured, open water swimming coaches, lifeguards and first aiders.
