Hideous Swims are entirely personal challenges, and a recognition that these look different to everyone. The criteria are simple, and you identify your qualifying swim. All successful swimmers are rewarded with their own Queen of Hideous Swims hat.
The Criteria:
- A terrifying process but you do it anyway
- Requires reaching beyond what you believe your limits to be
- Requires a substantial amount of focussed work to achieve
- Must not sacrifice the swimmer to sacrifice their general wellbeing to achieve it.
All conditions must be met for a swim to be considered Hideous.
If you haven’t already, check out our Queens of Hideous Swims Hall of Fame, to read our Queens’ stories – and maybe inspire yourself to join them!
