Dawlish Warren makes a fantastic location for a sea swim. And after the success of the first few years they're returning again for another year! 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, one of the buoys is moved further out for 3 x 1K laps. Dawlish Warren beach has consistently had excellent water quality ratings for the last four years!
This event is part of Dawlish Swim.

This event is doing its best to minimise its environmental impact. Here are a few of its initiatives:
For all events which include a t-shirt, there is the option to plant a tree instead through a partnership with Treesnottees
New paper cups have been sourced to be fully recycled back into high-grade paper.
Lots of competitors are not interested in finishers' medals so they are now optional. A £2 charity donation is made for every medal not selected.
Swim hats are provided for open water swimming events as they help the water safety teams keep track of swimmers. However for all pool events, swim hats are now on request to reduce wastage.
Reusable zip ties are used and all rubbish is sorted for recycling after the event.
At the Burrator 10K running race those who commit to walking or cycling to the event get £5 discount.
2025 fees to be confirmed.

I wanted to thank you for such a well organised event. All your communications and briefings were very clear and helpful. The marshals and safety crew out on the paddle boards were excellent. I don't think I have ever swum in an event where there have been so many excellent support crew. They were positioned at exactly the right places to help guide me round the course and they were also supportive and encouraging - especially on my last lap, where they stuck closely to me and offered all sorts of encouraging comments. I would like to thank each one of them. It must have been cold and difficult for them out there. Billie Oliver
