The Nieuwpoort Swim is inclusive and welcomes participants of all abilities, our briefings are informative and instructive, and our water safety team are on hand to help as and when required.

Whats the Course Like?

The Nieuwpoort Swim is one of the only open-water swim courses in Belgium. Set on the river delta in the port of Nieuwpoort, the Nieuwpoort Swim takes place in a setting to marvel about. The perfect start of the Long Course Weekend. The course starts and finishes in the harbour of the city and right next to the Nieuwpoort memorial in honour of British soldiers. Set back from, yet close to the sea, the course offers shelter from the strong currents and allows spectators to cheer on athletes from both sides of the river banks, delivering world-class viewing points for all spectators and an unrivalled atmosphere for athletes!

Be Part of the Long Course Weekend

Long Course Weekend is a unique festival of sport that offers an unbeatable atmosphere. Over three days athletes can choose events from three disciplines (swim, bike, run) and multiple distances to create a tailor-made weekend course for their ability or training needs. We are delighted to be able to deliver an event that attracts swimmers, cyclists, runners and triathletes together for one weekend. We encourage you to get involved with some other disciplines throughout the weekend, with the choice of a variety of distances on offer each day.
