The eXtreme 5 Challenge is a team event that comprises a swim, kayak, cycle and run, all in aid of charity. I have set up this group because I think there are people out there who would like to take part in their chosen challenge, but don't know the right people, or don't have enough time to make up a full team. The swim leg on the Challenge is 1.5km in open water with a half distance event also available.

Hello everyone and welcome to The Outdoor Swimming Clan. The idea behind this is to experience together the great outdoor swimming that is around, either in the UK or abroad. With plenty of rivers, lakes and sea around there are plenty of races for all abilities, from beginners to more experience swimmers. So if you fancy joining do not wait, season is about to start!
