Due to the endurance nature of the Bridge to Bridge and the length of time that swimmers are in the water, wetsuits are advised for this event, however, if you are a serious skin swimmer and would like to take part without a wetsuit, your application can be considered on a case by case basis.
Please view our Skin Swimmers Policy and email entries@henleyswim.com if you would like to arrange this.
