We are delighted to have teamed up again with Galashiels Rotary Club and Borders Water Rescue Team to offer a fantastic opportunity to swim 9.5km of the Tweed from the Union Bridge to Berwick RNLI station swimming under the 4 iconic bridges on the way.

Hope the name of  the mega raft  together with her sister raft which was purchased with  fund raising previously will be in the water with us supporting us every stroke of the way. We have also helped raise funds for a  drone whose applications are designed to aid rescue, support the rescue teams and enhance their safety as well as building up a reserve to purchase a new sprinter to compliment the  purpose designed ambulance which they already put to use saving lives.

Distance is @9.5km but tide assisted.

Date – Sunday 6th September 2026

Time – Meeting at 9.00am at Berwick RNLI station – 10.30am start for first wave.

Finish – Berwick RNLI station
