Thank you to everyone who came along to our opening swim on Sunday 1 July. Despite threatening clouds we had a fantastic turn out, with over 130 people coming along for a swim at St Brelade’s Bay – the most we’ve seen at a group swim!

We hope that you all enjoyed the challenge as much as we did and would like to thank you for your support. We have some exciting news to announce – the amount …
A late start to summer in Jersey made for any sign of sunshine through cloud and rain – a good enough reason to get in the sea. Being presented with a challenge to get in the sea come rain or shine made it a big deal, a commitment, a way of shouting from the top of the lighthouse that I …

Our small organising team headed down to Le Braye yesterday to finalise plans for Saturday 2 July. While we were there, we couldn’t resist popping down to the beach; the sea did look …
We are delighted to secure the support of Sally Minty-Gravett for our 30 Bays in 30 Days Challenge, so we asked her to share her thoughts on the health benefits of sea swimming.

It has been a couple of months since we launched 30 Bays in 30 Days to Jersey’s media, when a group of brave swimmers took a dip in the Havre des Pas Lido (and were duly rewarded with a bacon roll and hot drink for their efforts!). We were delighted to see so many people turn up and would like …
