A great turnout by Maidenhead Marlins Swimming Club
Open water swims in the River Thames at Maidenhead. Saturday 4th July 2026
Visit www.boulterstobrayswim.org Here's your chance to experience it first-hand...
Dating back to the 1800s, when it was known as the 'Long Swim', this swim has now been resurrected by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. The race course itself, running from Boulter's Lock in Maidenhead to the Waterside Inn at Bray, is one of the most beautiful stretches of the River Thames.

Thanks to all who have been involved in the this year. We've just packed the last box of race organisation materials away into the shed & are looking forward to a slightly less hectic few days!
See you all next year!

Our BIGGEST THANK YOU is to ALL our event volunteers - without them we really couldn't run the swim.
Over the weekend our volunteer team setup (& dismantled) the course, ran swimmer registration, marshalled the starts & finishes, drove boats & minibuses, handed out tshirts, hosed down returning swimmers & many other tasks! All of this was with smiles on their faces despite the early alarm clocks!
Thank you to:
GoodGym Windsor and Maidenhead for providing some volunteers
Claires Court for the minibus, safety boats & volunteers
Holyport College for the minibus
Bray Lake Watersports for the swim buoys
for the venue & facilities
Hastings Voluntary Lifeguard for safety cover
We are an entirely volunteer run event - any profits go into The Boulter's to Bray Charitable Trust which provides grants to local community & sports projects.
