Fireworks 500
2 November 2019
The Fireworks 500 is a 500m open water swim, held at night in the dark and sheltered waters of Capenwray Dive Centre in Lancashire. Swimming at night is something every open water swimmer should experience at least once. And experiencing this with a few hundred others certainly adds to the atmosphere!
Starting on the rocket, swimmers can race or leisurely complete one lap (500m) of the quarry. It's long enough for you to experience the beauty of night swimming in safe secure surroundings but short enough that you get to the end before the chill sets in!
Following the swim, you can warm up with a hot chocolate and then enjoy the ireworks display. If you're looking for something diferent and memorable, then the Fireworks 500 is a great way to end the swimming year.
