--snip--

We are swimming from Buscot Lock to Grafton Lock, a distance of about 5.4km, passing Kelmscott on the way.  The river is, supposedly, fast flowing along this stretch so it won't feel as far as it sounds.

We were in on Sunday (up towards Pinkhill Lock). There was no current. Unless you get a lot of rain, it might be a longer swim than you expect.
