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.

and swum down to Molesey lock, passing to the right of all islands. Although we normally swim on the left, on this stretch we swum on the right to keep away from the inhabited islands.

On arrival at Molesy lock we walked back along the tow path to the car park and shuttled shuttle drivers back to the their cars at the Leisure centre.
This is swim #72 from Michael Worthington's 'I ♥ the Thames' and is about 4.75km
