The Great Newham London Swim 2016 is part of the Great Swim Series which has grown into the largest open water swimming event series in Europe.
It was great fun photographing another swimming event organised by Great Run Company. I was invited to photograph the Great NewhamLondon Swim 2016 held at the Royal Victoria Dock right next to ExCel in London’s Docklands.
The series sees 22,000 competitors and 50,000 spectators involved in a series of open water swims stretching from the Great Scottish Swim in Loch Lomand to the Great Swim in Windemere and Manchester down to the Great East Swim in Ipswich and finally the Great Newham London Swim 2016 in Victoria Docks.
The Great swim series offer swimmers of all abilities the opportunity to get active and raise thousands of pounds for charity. The races are held over 1/2 mile, 1 mile and 2mile courses and are aimed at challenging swimmers of all ages and levels to to engage and get active and fit.
