Life Insurance for Swimming

Overview

It is not usually difficult to obtain cover for the majority of swimming activity from mainstream insurers.

There are a relatively small number of fatalities associated with swimming in the UK, however as a as percentage of the number of participants, the risks are nevertheless present.

Some forms of swimming do bring higher risk including:-

  • open water swimming
  • endurance swimming
  • channel crossings and similar 
  • triathlon swimming

But, even these types of swimming will not see many life insurers decline to offer cover unless you are older or have health problems or if you engage in these activities professionally or semi-professionally.
