Who doesn't love a pair of cool sunglasses? We think Scottish brand Sonaterra are particularly cool as the sunglasses are named after Scottish place names!

So come along and say hello to the team from Sonaterra at Go Swim Loch Lomond and see them for yourself. The trouble is you will want several pairs as they are all so good!

Back for the third year in a row are Three Sisters Bake!

We couldn't miss out on their delicious cakes, bread and biscuits so they were one of our first repeat bookings for 2026!

Post swim cake is an absolute must…

For those of you who are new to Go Swim, we want to clarify the rules on wearing neoprene gloves and socks. It's one of our frequently asked question so here's a little guide to what you can and can't wear.

Our longer, more competitive swims are governed by the rules set out by Scottish Swimming and FINA. These prohibit the use of gloves and socks due to the advantage they might give to competitors (webbed gloves, for example!) Our 250 metre and 750 metre swims are exempt from this as they are considered introductory swims.

However, if you are swimming for your own personal challenge and do not want to compete for the prizes offered at our Loch Lomond swim, then we are pleased to say that you can wear your neoprene gloves and socks on the other distances. We know this is important if you are challenging yourself to swim a little further, perhaps our 5km or 10km swim. 🙌

We all love swimming, that's why we are here! What we don't love so much is the changing after your swim in the cold and fumbling around with your swimming bag because your fingers are numb!

We're delighted to welcome Lee from Wildchanger bags to Loch Tay and Loch Morlich this year. She was so fed up with the after swim change that she designed the Wild Changer to overcome those problems. It's your chance to see the bags in the flesh and see how they work. Amazing!

One thing we often get asked at Go Swim is: “Does everyone start at once?”

The answer is no, we don’t use mass starts.

Instead, swimmers are set off in small waves throughout the event. This helps create a calmer, more relaxed experience in the water and gives everyone a little more space to settle into their swim. Our wave start system is designed to help make the experience safer, smoother and more enjoyable for everyone.

From the family-friendly 250m swims right through to the longer distances, we want you to feel confident when you enter the water.

Our first countdown starts here! Only 12 weeks until we head to Loch Tay to start the Go Swim series of 2026!

We're praying for the same amazing weather as 2025 but, even if it's not, we are sure that you will all bring the best atmosphere with you!

We have a NEW retailer joining us this year at Go Swim Loch Lomond! We're delighted to welcome Warmcor to the Event Village.

They have a wide range of swimming accessories and gorgeous swim suits. They are famous for their Warmcor tube for getting changed after swimming - less faffing about and more about getting warmer quicker.

Take a look at their website and draw up a shopping list...😂
