Dock2Dock 2024

Dock2Dock is one of London's most iconic swim events! This is your chance to swim in the magical urban setting of London’s Royal Docks with its imposing historical cranes lining the docks and Canary Wharf and the O2 looming in the background. Having started with just a few hundred swimmers, the Dock2Dock is going into its 9th year and has grown in size but maintains its fun and friendly atmosphere, offering a challenging swim for all ages and abilities with a range of distances to choose from. Whether you are new to open water swimming events taking on your first 1.5k or are a seasoned distance swimmer looking to tackle the 15k distance, the Dock2Dock offers the opportunity to swim in the heart of one of the world’s great cities.
