I have always wanted to swim in as many of our beautiful bays as possible but have never managed more than 15 in one summer. I have decided to take up this challenge to swim at 30 bays during July and to try and raise some money along the way for two wonderful local charities. I would be very thankful for any donation you are able to make! The water will be cold! And I will be doing early morning and late night swims so every pound donated will help push me to complete this challenge! Thank you so much.
Following the success of the last 5 years, the '30 Bays in 30 Days' swimming challenge which raises funds for both Jersey Hospice Care and The National Trust for Jersey will be launched again for July 2021. This year, we are hopeful we will be able to stage group opening and closing swims, more information will be provided in due course but we do encourage all those registered to start the challenge on 1st July and swim a minimum of 30 strokes, 30 times in bays local to them. Participants can pick their favourite bays or if they want an extra challenge, can attempt to swim in all 30 during the month of July. Participants may carry on swimming in August to complete as many swims or bays as they have challenged themselves to complete!
All participants are encouraged to follow the Government’s guidance at all times for the duration of the Challenge and please only swim in the suggested Bays listed on our the website.
