Bournemouth Pier to Pier Swim
July 15 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
The biggest charity swim in Europe heads back to Bournemouth. Join hundreds of other supporters as you brave the English Channel in this incredible 1.4 mile open water swim.
Starting from Bournemouth Pier, put your front stroke to the test in this challenging sea swim along the coastline to Boscombe Pier.
Your entry fee covers the cost of organising the event, but it’s the money you raise that powers our life saving research, so we ask our heart swimmer to set themselves a target of at least £150.
As a special incentive, for those of you who raise at least £150 (excluding gift aid) in sponsorship by the event day, you’ll be classed as a star swimmer and will be rewarded with a special swim hat that you can wear with pride during the event.
Your entry includes
Full water safety cover
New for 2018 – Branded swim hat
Timing chip and wristband to wear during the swim
Luggage transport from start to finish location
Training guidance
Fundraising support
Medical support
A medal and recorded swim time for all finishers
A complimentary hot drink and bottle of water at the finish
