London Royal Docks Update - 11th February, 2026

Modified on Wed, 4 Mar at 9:45 PM

VENUE UPDATE:
The salvage operation at London Royal Docks is ongoing. Our team is working closely with experienced divers and specialist partners to carefully recover what we can. 


Due to the extensive damage, the main pontoon and cabin will be decommissioned and as a result, swimming will need to remain paused for at least the month of February and likely beyond.


Right now, our small team is putting all of our energy into recovery efforts and exploring safe alternatives for swimming, both short and long term.


We are all devastated by recent events and understand the impact that the temporary loss of this venue will have on our wonderful community of swimmers. 


It will take time to rebuild both emotionally and physically and we thank you for your understanding whilst we work through all options to get you back in the water as soon as possible.


At this time, we will be unable to respond to individual enquiries but will provide updates as they become available.
