After 2025 proved to be our busiest and most popular year to date we are happy to announce that entries are open for 2026 for all of our famous events – CHILLSWIM CONISTON, CHILLSWIM ULLSWATER, CHILLSWIM WINDERMERE and of course the pinnacle of UK Open Water Lake Swimming the CHILLSWIM TRIPLE CROWN with a special offer for the 1st 50 x Triple Crown entries receiving a £50 discount and the 1st 50 x Chillswim Windermere entrants will receive a 10% discount!

For the 2026 season, we’re pleased to confirm that all of our event entry fees will remain unchanged. Over the past four years since COVID lockdowns we have worked extremely hard to keep our event prices consistent, despite huge increases in operational costs across the board. 

To help make this possible we’re now offering our event merchandise—such as our popular branded Hoody and T-shirt—as optional add-ons rather than including them automatically. This means you can choose to purchase these items separately, with our new upgraded hoody available at a subsidised price of just £28 (RRP £45), allowing us to maintain our high standards without increasing the base entry cost.

We remain committed to delivering exceptional value to our swimmers. Your entry fee will continue to include everything you need for a safe and memorable swim – return transport, full safety support, feed stations, a custom Chillswim silicone swim hat and a custom Chillswim Finisher’s medal. 

By separating optional extras from the main entry package, we’re ensuring you only pay for what matters most to you—without compromising on the quality of your experience. We’re grateful for your ongoing support as we continue to bring world-class open water swimming events to the stunning Lake District National Park.
