Sunday July 15th 2012

The 2011 event raised an amazing £23,000 (£20,000 for West Wight Sports Centre Trust and a further £3000 for other charities).

THANK YOU!!!

2012 LOOKS SET TO BE EVEN BIGGER WITH 70 SWIMMERS SIGNED UP.  
 

We have 70 swimmers signed up but inevitably one or two may drop out - if you'd like to be on the waiting list please complete the forms and send them in to us. We'll be in contact if a space is available. Please make sure you are available for all the key dates before you submit your form.

If you can't swim, then we still need lots of help - if you can:

• Volunteer as a kayaker please download and complete the form above
• If you can provide a RIB to transport swimmers across to the starting point and accompany them on the swim
• or if you can help us on the beach when swimmers arrive, please get in touch

KEY DATES

Swimmers, kayakers please remember the following dates which you must attend:

• Rescue and Recovery practice sessions - Saturday 23rd June 10 am  and/or Tuesday 3rd July at 6 pm at Colwell. YOU MUST ATTEND ONE OF THESE AND TELL US WHICH ONE YOU ARE COMING TO VIA YOUR REGISTRATION FORMS. This will give you an opportunity to swim as a group and to be shown how to be safely rescued by a kayaker.
• Pre-event safety briefing - Saturday July 14th 6 pm at West Wight Sports Centre. Everyone is expected at this please. Also marshalls, shoreside volunteers and safety boat crew
• Swimmers must attend 100 length swim in the pool at West Wight Sports Centre on Saturday 9th June at either 9 a.m or 10.30 a.m

We appreciate your support with this event - and the above dates have been arranged to ensure the day passes without incident. PLEASE cooperate - with 70 swimmers and 40 kayakers safety is our paramount concern.

Once again a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who is taking part - and good luck with your training!

DON'T FORGET, SOME DVD'S OF THE FULL LENGTH VIDEO ARE STILL AVAILABLE FOR £5 FROM THE SPORTS CENTRE
