When: 9.00am, June 10 2012
Where: Dorney Lake, Windsor
Details: The stunning rowing venue for the London 2012 Olympic Games will be host to the first ever WomenOnly Open Water Swim, a new addition to the Speedo Open Water Swim Series.
There is definitely something for everyone at this event, with the option of three distances to choose from, it gives women whether they are new or experienced in the open water, the opportunity to swim in an official Olympic venue in the lake’s beautiful clear waters.
As with every event in the series, the WomenOnly Swim guarantees that each swimmer will be looked after by professionals, with accurate marker points and clear lines of sight, as well as providing unparalleled levels of water safety with the experienced and knowledgeable Human Race Water Safety Crew looking after you at every stroke.
For those looking to familiarise themselves in the complete open water experience, the organisers have decided to open up the non-wetsuit option to all swimmers providing that the water is over 15 degrees on the day. All you have to do is select the non-wetsuit option when you enter online but don’t worry, if at a later date you change your mind, you can still opt to wear your wetsuit on the day.
Not only is Dorney Lake great for those racing, it is also a perfect venue for those supporting who are able to watch the swimmers from various vantage points around the course. The bridge by the start is an ideal place to see the action begin, while a tarmac path that runs the length of the course means you can follow and encourage the swimmers all the way.
The venue also provides free onsite parking and some great facilities for both pre and post event relaxation and recovery. Shower facilities, changing rooms and lockers are all available within the boat house and further facilities will be available in the marquees in the event village.
All swimmers will receive an event swim cap and an exclusive Speedo Swim Series medal engraved with the WomenOnly Swim race and date. Event-specific t-shirts are also available for purchase via the event entry page and there will be lots of goodies on the day from our event partners.
