Alderney boasts some of the best beaches in the Channel Islands so it will now have a smaller version of the challenge to raise money for Alderney Cancer Relief and the Alderney Wildlife Trust. Based on the original concept participants sign up to swim at least 30 strokes (but hopefully more!) in 5 selected bays within a continuous 5 day period. A 5baysin5days map designed by local illustrator Caroline Cummins of www.thelittlepapergalley.com will be provided on sign up to tick off the swims. A big thank you to the Potting Shed for their design support and PWC for their sponsorship of the event.

Date – 1^st-31^st August. Choose when you would like to start then tick off your swims whenever you like, in which order you like.

Registration - £6 per adult, £3 per child. Sign up at The Alderney Wildlife Trust shop, 48 Victoria Street (open 9am-5pm Monday to Friday and Saturday until midday) or look out for our pop-up registration point on Butes for Cavalcade Day.
