People from across the UK are being encouraged to dig out their outdoor swimming gear and take
part in a new outdoor swimming event.

The first ever Epilepsy Action Rutland Water Swim has been launched.

It will be the first time that people have had the chance to take part in a sponsored swim in the
UK’s largest reservoir.

Swimmers will be able to choose a distance that suits their level of experience and stamina,
with options to swim 500m, 1,000m or 1,500m.

It costs £36 to register for the event and Epilepsy Action is encouraging all swimmers to raise
at least £100 in sponsorship.

The event is ideal for people who enjoy open water swimming or those who are looking to try
something new.

Saturday 8th September

An Iconic race in picturesque Rutland.

Voted best event of the year in 2009 by 220 Triathlon Magazine.

The Vitruvian is still a race that will be even tougher to finish than it is to pronounce or even get into.
Starting with an initial 1900 metre swim which sets the standard for the rest of the race.
The following 84km bike which includes two climbs over the notorious Rutland Ripple
 and incorporates nearly 1000m of climbing is just the second stage of suffering before
the 21km run gets under way just to finish things off. The good news is at least the run is flat.

We estimate there were over a thousand supporters around the course and that's what
makes this event so special!!
