Open Water Swimming

DSWC is proud to offer Open Water Swimming in the heart of Docklands. Millwall Outer Dock provides the perfect place for people who are already used to open water swimming but also good pool swimmers wanting to give open water a go. We are located 5-7 minutes walk from both Crossharbour and Mudchute DLR and just 12-15 minutes walk from Canary Wharf underground station. Travel between Bank DLR station and Millwall Dock in only 20 minutes! All participants swimming at DSWC must wear their NOWCA Safety Wristband every time they swim. If you are not currently a member of NOWCA, you can register here. We strongly recommend the use of a specialised wetsuit. If the water temperature is below 14 degrees, it is mandatory for participants to use a wetsuit, which needs to be provided by the participant. Participants must sign in at reception before proceeding down to the pontoons. As operators, we will know who and how many swimmers are in the water, at any time. This is important for managing your swim safety. For you as a swimmer, wearing your NOWCA Safety Wristband will speed your entry into the water plus record your swim time and distance, just like wearing a chip at a triathlon. Sessions cost £8. Times 5:30pm till Sunset Last swimmer entry will be 30 minutes before sunset.

More about Hackney Wick

Greater London, England

Hackney Wick sits right on the banks of the Regent's Canal, a spot where the water is always calm but the local scene never stops moving. Lord Napier and Star has been hosting live music for years without ever needing to shout about it. You can catch a gig there while watching the boats drift past, which sounds like a perfect plan for a Saturday night. The canal towpath offers plenty of space for a walk before you head back inside for a drink. Near Here keeps track of what's going on in this corner of London so you don't have to hunt through a dozen different sites. It really is easy enough to find something that suits your mood without spending an hour scrolling on a phone.
