Swimming under the light of the full September Harvest moon, enjoy a unique and exhilarating swimming experience at GLOW SWIM 2026. Join us for this truly surreal spectacle as you and your fellow swimmers light up the lake with a glowing firefly trail of multi-coloured lights winding their way around our swim course.
Run to coincide with the full moon lunar cycle, we'll be lighting up our 750 metre swim course to light your way like beacons in the darkness.
A spectacular event like no other, this unique, stimulating and visually surreal open water swim experience is one to remember and not to be missed!
Our Glow Swims are not a race - they are a relaxing, sensory night swim experience to feed the mind, body and soul so leave those stop watches at home and immerse yourself in the spectacle. Your entry includes full water safety cover, post-swim live entertainment and a delicious hot supper.
POST-SWIM EXPERIENCE
After a post-swim change into warm clothing, join us on the quayside for a delicious culinary treat created by professional chef and Vobster swimmer Dagmar. As always, we'll be offering either a meat or vegan meal option - just select which you would prefer when you book. Choose from:
We'll then kick back and enjoy the smooth and enchanting sound of live music from talented accoustic guitar vocalist
Stuart McKechnie, set against the tranquil backdrop of the lake. We'll also be 'firing up' our fabulous 'Heatwave' fire pit to provide a warm and welcoming glow to proceedings - the perfect spot to enjoy a cosy drink as you relax, chat and enjoy the live music.
Entry to this Glow Swim event is open to all - members and non-members alike. Bookings are accepted on a first come first served basis. Each participant must book their own place - you cannot book on behalf of friends.
IMPORTANT! SWIM LIGHTS
Glow Swim is a unique and exhilarating swim experience with each and every swimmer contributing to a surreal firefly trail of brightly-coloured lights weaving their way around the lake. In order to achieve this, all swimmers must attach a swim light to your swim float or goggles strap to illuminate your progress around the lake.
We ask that participants
refrain from using chemical light sticks at Glow Swim. If you love the environment as much as we do, please join us in switching to a more eco-friendly glow light solution. We now offer a super-bright Swim light in the Vobster shop which offers the perfect
ECO-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE. This funky little safety light puts out a super-bright glow that can be seen from over 5 kilometres away and, with its integrated carabiner, can quickly and easily be attached to your swim float.
IMPORTANT! Whilst limited stock of swim lights may be available in the Vobster shop on the night, availability cannot be guaranteed. We strongly recommend that you purchase your light before your arrival. Swimmers without a swim light will not be permitted to enter the water.
