Our shortest swim is back for the first time since 2019! The Classic 1.5km is the old swim route from the Cerist Triathlon, quite simply it's a classic.

beat the tide 4km
Starting from Aberdovey beach this swim pushes on past Outward Bound all the way to "The Castle". One of the most scenic and interesting swims in the UK. Expect slight tidal assistance at the start & finish, and perhaps a little swimming against the tide around the halfway mark.

THE DYFI 13km
Swim from the beautiful beach in Aberdovey all the way up to the tidal limit of the Dovey estuary covering 13km of splendour, a journey that transitions from coast to mountain, from salt water to river water. The longest estuary swim event in the UK.

THE TAFOL TUMBLE 8km
After a very challenging couple of years we are trying to consolidate a little, as a result it is unlikely that the Tafol Tumble will be held in 2022.
Starting form Aberdovey beach swim all the way to a pebbly beach where the River Tafol joins the Dovey/Dyfi Estuary. Here you will "tumble-turn" and swim back to Aberdovey, hopefully your tumble coincides with the turning of the tide!
