A swim challenge. Food and drink. A reason to get in the water.
Come Swim with us at Sea Lanes, London's stunning new 50m natural open water pool. It’s floating in the heart of the iconic Eden Docks, and we want you in it.
Pick your distance: 1km, 3km or 5km. Show up. Swim it. Celebrate.
What’s the objective?
This is a personal challenge, a celebration of swimming at an iconic new venue and a chance to do something pretty special to support kids with disabilities to learn to swim.
Take on the distance challenge that suits you, arrive at pool side ready to swim, and Level Water will provide the atmosphere.
Make It Your Day
Morning, lunchtime and evening slots mean you can make this work around your day or build your day around this.
Arrive poolside, hit the water, and do something brilliant.
Beyond the Pool
This isn't just a swim - it's a celebration of everything swimming can be.
There'll be food, DJs, and an atmosphere that makes you wonder why every day isn't like this. Finish your distance and step into a space built for people who love the water.
Share the joy of swimming
Every stroke you take means something.
The Canary Wharf PoolSwim raises money for Level Water, providing one-to-one swimming lessons for children with disabilities. These lessons unlock freedom, confidence, and the magic of moving through water. Something every child deserves.
£15 funds a lesson. Your swim could fund many.
Every swimmer. Every donation. Every stroke counts.

Event Information
The Power of Swimming
100% of the profits and funds raised from Level Water events provide swimming lessons for disabled children all over the UK.
Children like Rhys:
Rhys has a hearing impairment and has to take both his hearing aids out to get in the pool. This presents a huge challenge for him. Rhys' swim teacher called him ‘naughty’ when he wasn’t listening to what he was being told.
Rhys tried group lessons for a few months but was often left on the side and had no idea what was going on, which made him feel totally alone.
Level Water understands that communication is key so we train swim teachers to adapt to the specific needs of every child they teach. 1-to-1 swimming lessons with Level Water mean that Rhys is now having bespoke lessons and is progressing brilliantly. He is learning to swim just like any other child. To fall in love with the water.
Rhys is just one of thousands of children who benefit from Level Water lessons each year. Each child is different but the outcome is the same. They get access to learn this life-saving skill all while building confidence, strength and flexibility in the water. And for every child in our lessons there are four more on the waiting list. Many of them will start their lessons in 2026 because of fundraisers like you. And that’s all pretty wonderful.
