The Henley Swim

The swim  first started back in 2004 when two of the organisers, Tom Kean and Jeremy Laming, decided their backs had finally had enough of rowing and that it might be nice to swim the Henley Regatta course. So they could do this safely and without disrupting the rowing community at a busy time of the year, dawn was decided as the best time of day to do it, and that Jeremy’s old rowing club (Upper Thames) was the best place to meet.

In 2011, Tom and Jeremy expanded their range of swims, to include the Henley Mile, the Bridge To Bridge and the Queenford Relays – a new concept involving relays and team pursuits.

Given the success of the events, the team has grown. We are also on the lookout to offer internships for students looking for events experience

The mission of Henley Swim is to deliver a range of exciting and challenging Open Water Swimming Events, catering for the requirements of experienced swimmers and enthusiasts alike.
