What is the Social Swim Series?

The Social Swim Series is our monthly social swim club, taking place in the heart of London at the West Reservoir Centre near Finsbury Park.

The format? It's pretty simple.

Every second Sunday of the month we come together for a swim followed by coffee, pastries and a well-earned chit chat. (The swimming bit is entirely optional - feel free to come along just for a coffee and a chinwag!)

Our mission? To build a welcoming community of likeminded, city-dwelling social swimmers who are up for making some new friends and generally keen for a good time.

Did we mention the side quests? Well, there are also side quests, but you will need to join our WhatsApp group to hear more about those...

How do I join?

Follow us on Instagram and drop us a DM, or get in touch via our Contact page, and we will add you into the Social Swim Series WhatsApp group chat.

All are welcome! Tell your family, tell your friends.

Meet at 10.30am for the swim. We are usually in the cafe afterwards by 11.30-12pm if you would like to join for coffee.

Please remember...

Open water swimming slots at West Reservoir must be booked in advance on the Better Health website. There will be plenty of reminders on the WhatsApp group but please do remember to do this.

Please also remember to bring a red, orange or yellow swimming cap (or hat / beanie) - the lifeguards won't let you swim without one. They do sometimes have swim caps you can borrow at the front desk.
