We are an informal group who swim around the Island once a year. We welcome all. 

We are fast swimmers and slow swimmers. Bring your flippers, wetsuit, pink flamingo, support crew in tinny or kayak, as you wish. Bring a thermos of coffee and/or a snack to share. 

To join the swim, please complete the form, which you can find here (or scan the QR code on the poster).

Look forward to seeing you there.
