It's on 8 September. There's a Facebook event. I think it's on the Milton Country Park website too.

Linds, there's the place next to DCRainmaker's new cave, but I'm not 100% on where exactly that is.

There's the MAsterdam city swim coming up soonish, also amsterdamcityswim.nl
the website looks like it should have an english language option but that doesn't seem to do anything when I click it. Chrome auto translate for the win.

My mistake. I missed it. It was on Sunday. :-(

There's a Swimathon on 8 September to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Oh no, Rich!

Thanks, Rae. I read Dutch :)

That's handy! I didn't realise it was so expensive, though. Also not so useful if you're not there on the exact date.

I think de Nieuwe Meer is the lake by the new DCR cave - it seems to be a free open place to swim amsterdam.nl

I think there are still spaces for the Heron event.... it's just off the M25 - literally 2 mins :)

Bugger! I would definitely have done that but I have to be at Heathrow exactly then :(

Thanks Katie.

There didn't seem to be a thread devoted to open water swimming, so I thought I'd start one.
