Swimming: A Skill For Life, A Way To Stay Active All Year Round

A whole-body workout, a chance to switch off and a skill for life – swimming is a great way to stay active all year round.

Swim all year round - a whole-body workout, a skill for life, made more affordable with ActiveWestminster.

Shorter days and chilly weather don’t have to interrupt your routine. An indoor swim keeps you moving, whether you prefer steady lengths or time in the pool with family.

A workout for your body, a skill for your life

Swimming works your arms, legs and core, while the water supports your body for a low-impact workout with less strain on your joints. As part of an active routine, it can boost your mood, ease stress and support better sleep.

Learning to swim builds confidence in the water and gives you a valuable life skill, opening up opportunities to stay active for years to come.

The Vitality Westminster Mile Delivers An Iconic, Record-Breaking Day

The Vitality Westminster Mile Delivers An Iconic, Record-Breaking Day

 
Over 8,000 finishers. One iconic route. A world-record pyjama party.

The 2026 Vitality Westminster Mile filled the heart of the capital with family fun, record-breaking moments and an unforgettable celebration of movement.

The 2026 Vitality Westminster Mile took over central London, with more than 8,000 finishers completing the iconic route around St James’s Park from The Mall to a spectacular finish outside Buckingham Palace.

The Right Worshipful Lord Mayor of Westminster, Councillor Karen Scarborough, got the day under way as starter for the first wave, while Councillors Robert Rigby and Ben Sewell were among those joining in and celebrating the occasion.

The Mall became the world’s biggest pyjama party as hundreds of children, parents and families tackled the mile in PJs, stripes and fleecy onesies. From toddlers in buggies to three generations crossing the line together, the day captured what this London 2012 legacy event is all about: making activity fun, accessible and inclusive.

The buzz continued at the free Vitality Wellness Festival in Green Park, with cricket, basketball, dance, martial arts, crafts and high-energy Guinness World Record challenges. Olympians Chris Thompson and Montell Douglas joined the fun, before Cameron Boyek won the men’s BMC Bannister Mile and Kate Axford equalled the women’s course record in 4:23.

Run Back The Highlights

What an amazing day! A huge thank you to the organisers, sponsors, partners and volunteers who made it all possible, and to every participant who brought such incredible energy to the course. Together, you made the 2026 Vitality Westminster Mile an iconic, record-breaking celebration that Westminster will never forget.

Ready for another unforgettable mile? Entries for the 2027 Vitality Westminster Mile on Saturday 25 September are now open.
