Come and join Open Water Devon for a brand new swim route at Brixham Breakwater. We are hoping you will join us for unforgettable day in the water! 

This event is raising money for the Brixham Lifeboat Station with 20% of profits being donated. Also stick around and cheer for our young swimmers in the Nippers and Youth categories.

If you are a disabled or adaptive swimmer and would like to join us, please do get in touch so we can help organise your swim.

The route for this event is a triangular course starting from the beach, and ending by swimming back in towards the beach along the breakwater wall, you'll get to turnaround next to the iconic lighthouse. The harbor by-laws being enforced by the Brixham Harbor Authority, and safety concerns around the concrete re-fueling pontoons inside the breakwater wall mean we cannot swim on the inside of the breakwater.

You'll first need to come and register at Race HQ on the left hand side of Breakwater Beach. After collecting your hat, and timing chip make sure you're ready to go at the start line for race briefing at 8.45am. You'll have a chance to enter the water to acclimatise, then line up, starting on the gun. Swimmers wanting to race can start at the front of the pack for a sprint start. If you'd rather not be in the front, just hold back a few seconds, or we recommend being at the sides. 

The course is 2km, swimming right, towards Shoalstone Pool. You then turn left around a buoy and head for the end of the breakwater, aiming for the lighthouse. Once you reach the next buoy, you turn left again, before one long stretch along the breakwater wall to the beach. If you are in the 4km swim, you turn again for lap #2.

This swim can be swim in 'skins' or wetsuit, and you can swim using any front stroke (front crawl, breaststroke...even butterfly and doggy paddle!)
