The RLSS UK has launched its first Open Water Festival to offer first timers, novice and experienced open water swimmers the chance to experience the freedom of open water swimming in the grounds of one of the country’s premier stately homes. Ragley Crawl allows first time dippers to regular participants to tackle one-mile, half-mile or team relay swims. Rookie Raid, a 200m swim and a 400m run aim at eight to 12-year-olds will also take place.
