Loch Ken 10K Wild Swim

This is the 11th year of our annual charity Wild Swimming weekend and in addition to our other events, we are introducing a challenging swim between the Galloway Activity Centre and Crossmichael. For those new to the area, Loch Ken is a narrow stretch of clean, open water well loved by wild swimmers. As part of the Hydo-Electric scheme, the Loch is regularly filled with fresh water from the Rhinns of Kells and is SEPA tested shortly before the swim. It's known to be some of the cleanest water in Scotland and is a beautiful location for wild swimming. The water is usually around 14 degrees Celsius at this time of year but could be colder.
