About
Outstandingly beautiful, remote and unspoilt, the Isles of Scilly are every open water swimmer's dream. Just off the coast of Cornwall, this special place boasts ice-white beaches, Caribbean-like blue waters and picture-perfect harbours and bays.
Now in its 13th year, the Scilly Swim Challenges showcase some of the very best swimming the UK has to offer, offering participants the chance to swim and walk between these islands, safe in the knowledge they will be looked after by a team of open water experts.
2026 Charity Partner
Level Water is a UK charity transforming lives through swimming. They provide one-to-one swimming lessons for children with disabilities, helping them gain confidence, be safe in the water and progress into group lessons with their peers. By breaking down barriers to access, Level Water opens up the joy and opportunities that swimming brings.
Our Swimmers Say
If you get the opportunity to enter this event, do it! Out of all the swimming events I have taken part in, this is by far the friendliest, most beautiful and above all has the best safety support of any other. I hope to come back year after year and hope my family and friends will continue to join me."
