COMMUNITY SWIM

Join the Totnes Ladies Rugby team for a refreshing morning swim at Totnes weir swimming spot.Energise yourself for the Totnes Pride weekend ahead and make new connections.

Bring a flask of tea and a towel to wrap up in after! There are no changing rooms or bathrooms at the weir, please be come prepared. 

Location: On the Access for All path between Totnes and Dartington

Getting there: It’s a short 5-minute walk from Totnes Station or 10-15-minutes walk from the centre of town.

What to expect: Popular with local swimmers, the River Dart pools reasonably deeply at this spot just above the weir. You may be joined on your swim by Mandarin ducks, which live all along this stretch of the river. Also keep your eyes peeled for kingfishers because these are regularly spotted here.  You’ll find a handy platform on the bank at this wild swimming spot in Totnes to make it easier to get in or out. This also makes it a popular location for launching kayaks and SUPs. Because it’s above the weir, you don’t need to worry about tidal currents. However, the river can flow quickly at times so check local conditions before you get in.

Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult. Swimming is done at your own risk. Totnes Pride does not assume any liability for those choosing to swim.
