F.O.W.S.C
The Folkestone Open Water Swimming Club are a group of friends who swim in the beautiful Folkestone sea at various times throughout the year.
The swim is busiest during the July to September months when most members are active, but some members can be found to be swimming throughout the year, weather permitting of course.
We are very partial to some big wave action.
