Plymouth Swim

About this event

The Plymouth Swim takes place in the sheltered waters of Barn Pool Beach at Mount Edgcumbe, just a short ferry ride from Plymouth city centre. Swimmers can choose from three distances: 750m, 1500m, or 3km, all following a lap-based course that stays close to shore. The natural shelter provided by land on both sides keeps currents manageable, making it a solid choice for those looking to tackle their first longer open water swim or simply enjoy swimming in calm sea conditions. Running alongside the Plymouth Triathlon, the event benefits from strong local organization and a supportive atmosphere. The combination of accessible location, clear water, and well-marked course has made it a regular fixture for southwest swimmers.
