The Norfolk Slow Swim Picnic isn't a race. It's a social swim and a picnic at the historic Dilham Canal in Norfolk. We get to swim in the private waterway running through the estate and picnic right by the water. The Norfolk Slow Swim and Picnic is part of the Slow Swimming campaign, aimed at encouraging swimmers to take their time and enjoy the opportunity to be out fully immersed in nature. We campaign for clean rivers and lakes. Petitioning to have popular local areas designated as bathing quality. In the meantime, we test the water purity ourselves to ensure the safety of our events. There are no timing chips or results sheets. Everyone who takes part is a winner equally.
