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 47: Boveney Lock to Romney Lock
We met at the same car park as the last swim:

Remember that the car park is locked at 5pm. We then walked down to the entry point at Boveney Lock:

We then swam down to the exit point at Romney Lock.

Be aware that you are not allowed to swim in the lock cut. After the swim we walked back to the start. You can make the walk shorter by cutting the corner at Eton.
Caution:
We encountered a significant amount of large boat traffic in this section. Make sure you are visible and that you tell the lock keepers.
