Bantham 2026

Organised by Level Water

The Bantham Swoosh and Boomerang are world class swims in the Avon (Aune) estuary in Devon. The estuary is both shallow and sandy bottomed so you might spot the local crabs cruising around the river bed beneath you.

Story

Swim the River. Change a Life.

The Bantham swims are the UK’s most iconic open water swims – and for good reason.

It’s adventure, current and awe. From the buzz at the start to the clear waters and the cheers at the finish, these swims give you something unforgettable.

But this isn’t just about ticking off a bucket list.

It’s about raising money for Level Water – a charity giving children with disabilities the chance to learn to swim. These 1-to-1 lessons build confidence and joy in the water and wouldn’t exist without your support.

Every £15 funds a lesson.

Together, we’re opening up the water to everyone.

This is one of the greats – and it fills up fast.
