I’ve entered the Go Swim events again for 2024. It’s a great series of swim events… and this year they’re doing a 10% discount if you enter all three events.

Last year I did 2 x 5,000m – one at Loch Lomond and one at Loch Morlich…

In 2021, I did 3,000m at Loch Lomond… and enjoyed it so much that in 2022 I entered all three events – Loch Tay – 3,000m,
Loch Lomond 5,000m and
Loch Morlich 3,000m.

Loch Lomond was cut short to 4,500m due to the conditions so I still hadn’t done the 5,000m event …

Loch Tay that year was a bit scary – very choppy – although enjoyable after about half an hour or so, it put me off it a bit.

Then in 2023, I managed to complete the two 5,000m distances at Loch Lomond and Loch Morlich.

But after doing the two 5,000m events this year (2023), I decided I’d mix it up a bit in 2024 and entered it as follows:

Loch Tay – 1,500m
Loch Lomond – 5,000m
Loch Morlich – 3,000m

Part of the reason for doing different distance is to mix it up… but Loch Morlich is a bit later and usually colder anyway, and Loch Tay can often be choppy… so there’s other reason for me choosing those distances.

And the extra wee discount is a nice motivator to enter all three.

This should get me in the pool / open water next year to train!
