Loch Ken is perfect for Wild Swimming and our organised swim is a great oportunity for experienced swimmers, families and beginners to get out and enjoy the water. As part of the hydro scheme Loch Ken is regularly filled with fresh, clean water straight off the Rhinns of Kells and is one of the cleanest Lochs in Scotland. Proceeds go to Barnado's Scotland.
Throughout the day there is a 1km, 2km and 4 km race (£25pp). There's also a fun kids splash session!
Safety cover is provided by Galloway Activity Centre for each race and will include RIB's and kayaks. Wetsuits are compulsory for all events and can be hired on the day.
For those too young to take part in the 1km race we run a fun splash race which involves a short course and then a quick instructor led session on our Wobbly Waterpark. £12.50pp
We use Si-Entries for our timing chips and online booking, follow the link to book yourself on!
An exciting Night Swim on Loch Ken on 6th September with the option to enter 500m or 1km. Cost £25.00pp (plus optional £2 to Barnados)
