We are the Outdoor Swimming Society’s ‘Swim the Thames’ group, swimming the entire length of the River Thames as it flows from source to sea, through countryside meadows, Cotswold villages, market towns, and great cities. Follow us here to track our progress as we wade, walk, breaststroke, crawl and butterfly our wet way from the source of the great river to Teddington... and beyond.

Swim 40: Downstream from Marlow to Spade Oak (Bourne End)
Once again a shorter winter swim that could be combined with the previous swim in warmer months. This swim is approximately 1.75km.
We met at the Spade Oak car park here:

Note, this is the free public car park not the pub car park which you will pass on the way.
We then walked upstream to the entry point at the small beach just downstream from the start of the island:

before swimming back to the exit point just by the rail crossing leading back to the car park:
