ABOUT US

Highland Open Water Swim is the brainchild of outdoor enthusiast Jeff Forrester.

We started in 2016 to enjoy the beautiful waters in the Highlands of Scotland, while at the same time raising funds towards Children with Cancer UK.

The original idea only involved a few events, but numbers just kept increasing and by the time we got to our final event last year - across the Sound of Mull - there were more than 100 crazy people willing to swim or help our safety team.
