South Coast Swim/Walk

Make a note in your diary for a coast swim/walk on Saturday 23rd July. We’ll be taking the 9:17am train from London Victoria to Lewes for a swim at the charming Pells Pool lido. Suitably refreshed we’ll then be taking an 8 mile walk along the South Downs Way to Saltdean for a bracing sea swim. From here we’ll take a bus along the coast into Brighton for another swim if you fancy, before taking the 4:28pm train back to London Victoria.

Remember to book two single train tickets; one to Lewes and one from Brighton. Book early for reduced fares. If you fancy joining us along the way let us know in advance so we can arrange to meet up.
