About
Marathon Swims
Marathon Swims is the ultimate swimming challenge. Swimming now has its own marathon.
Marathon Swims 2021:
The Marathon Swims 2020 event at the London Aquatics Centre on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park could not take place as planned in 2020. We'll be back next year for Marathon Swims 2021.
This decision about this year's event was made after very careful consideration of the options available to us and our ability to stage Marathon Swims 2020 as we would like, in as safe and secure an environment as possible, and we sadly reached the conclusion that it was not possible this year.
