It's the taking part that counts...
The British Naturism Swimming Gala at Watford Woodside Leisure Centre offers swimmers and sports-lovers a different kind of event.
Held in the eight-lane, 25 m competition pool with starting blocks. Participants must swim at least two lengths to take part.
Beyond swimming, the event includes a “Festival of Sport” for non-swimmers with activities such as badminton, squash and pickleball, so you can join even if you’re not a strong swimmer.
The event is open to members of British Naturism and member clubs, and competing here grants eligibility for the International Naturist Federation Swimming Gala held biannually in various cities across Europe.
