Overview

Dawlish Warren makes a fantastic location for a sea swim. The excellent Teignmouth Surf Life Saving Club team will be on hand to keep you all safe in the water.

The swim course is triangular as you’ll see from the swim map. You start on the beach and finish on the steps. The 1500m swim is two laps of this course with an extra turn buoy. For the 3K swim we move one of the buoys further out for 3 x 1K laps. Dawlish Warren beach has consistently had excellent water quality ratings for the last four years!

'I canโ€™t thank you and your team enough for making my first sea swim 1500m absolutely epic! I was blown away by the organisation of this event , I loved my free cup of tea and cake ๐Ÿฐ afterwards , what a lovely touch that was . I drove down leaving Glos at 4am not knowing what to expect but it was more than I expected.'
