The Morning Bantham swoosh

You will have opportunity to journey for Averton Gifferd down The Bantham Sit in a choice of on Kayaks, Canadian Canoes, SUP’s and Giant SUPS’s.

We will end at Bigbury Beach for lunch.

The Swoosh is a world class 6km estuary swim down the River Avon in Devon. Among the things that make it special is the fact the estuary the swim takes place in is both shallow and sandy bottomed – so water is clear rather than muddy, and swimmers have a view of the sandy bed most of the way. The swim culminates in a “swoosh” as the ebbing tide is funnelled through a narrow section of river, speeding you along over the riverbed at up to four times your usual swimming speed. It can run at 8 knots.
