Join #TeamNorthCare for an exhilarating challenge like no other

The Arla Great North Swim, at Windermere, has something for everyone, for all ages and all abilities, whether you’re a seasoned swimmer or a beginner.

We have limited charity places available in the one-mile swim, so join thousands of like-minded people and set yourself an open water challenge in the great outdoors at the UK’s biggest open water swim event.

Set in the heart of the Lake District, you’ll find gorgeous scenery, incredible wildlife, and a rich cultural heritage. Brockhole comes alive on Great North Swim weekend, with fun for the whole family including outdoor activities and adventure play, local food and drink stalls, shopping, and a warm welcome for four-legged friends.
