Event details
For the last three years we have run a very successful 9.5km fundraiser swim from Union Bridge to Berwick and this year our event has sold out already.
We have also been asked by so many people if we could run a shorter swim so that people who are not ready to swim the 9.5km could still get an option to swim under the beautiful Berwick Bridges.
We are delighted to say that we have teamed up again with Galashiels Rotary Club and Borders Water Rescue Team to offer a fantastic opportunity to swim 4km of the Tweed from the A1 Bridge to Berwick RNLI station swimming under the 3 iconic bridges on the way.
Over the past 3 years we have raised funds for the Borders Water Rescue Team who have purchased a Mega raft, another support raft, dry suits and part funded a drone with the funds raised. All essential kit to help save lives or help with search and recovery in and around the Borders.
We aim to continue our fund raising campaign with this swim too so all swimmers are asked to raise a minimum of £100 prior to the swim taking place.
Distance is @4km but tide and river assisted.
Date – Sunday 19th July 2026
Time – Meeting at 7.30am at Berwick RNLI station – 8.30am start for first wave.
Finish – Berwick RNLI station
Swim Capability – the swim is relatively easy being tide and flow assisted however you do need to have experienced cold water swimming on a regular basis prior to the event and you need cold water endurance for max of 1.5 hours in the water.
Transport will be provided to start of swim
Kit will be transported to finish
There is a commitment to raise a minimum of £100 per swimmer with funds going towards the purchase of essential equipment for BWRT.
Non refundable registration fee of £15.00 is applied.
In due course you will receive a communication email confirming details and just giving page link

Swimmers are welcome to swim in Neoprene or skins ( or a mix) – water shoes are Mandatory as is a Tow Float.
As Safety is our number one priority we reserve the right to alter or cancel the event if we feel the weather is not suitable for the event to run.
