It’s not just the distance that makes this swim special—it’s the journey. The peaceful flow of the river contrasts with the relentless effort required to push through mile after mile. Surrounded by nature and history, swimmers find themselves immersed in the landscape as much as the water itself.

The Dart10k is a challenging yet stunning open water swim, taking participants on a 10-kilometer journey along the River Dart in Devon. Starting in the historic town of Totnes, swimmers follow the river to the Greenway Estate, completing the swim surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. Although the swim covers a long distance, the current in the River Dart is often a helpful force, working with you as you swim downstream, making it easier than swimming a standard 10k.
