Organiser: The Chestnut Appeal for Men's Health

Looe Island to East Looe Beach Swim

The 2021 Looe Island to East Looe Beach swim will take place on Sunday 5th September with a swim time of around 16.00 

The length of the swim is a little over a mile.

Swimmers are transported by Glass-Bottomed Boat to the Island where they will alight.  The Safety Briefing will take place on the Island and once the safety team are in place the swim back to East Looe Beach will begin.

The swim is held in partnership with the Rotary Club of Looe.

Registration for the swim is £40.  Your entry fee covers the cost of organising the event, but it's the money you raise that helps Prostate Cancer patients and their families, so we ask all our Looe Island Swimmers set themselves a target of at least £50.  you can set up your Fundraising page via this link Chestnut Appeal Fundraising

Your £40 registration includes

  • Event swim cap 
  • Full lifeguard and medical support
  • an event medal 
  • A delicious pasty at the finish

The Looe Island swim offers unique viewing opportunities and finishes in the heart of Looe, so it’s not just an iconic swim for the competitors; it’s also great for friends, family and other spectators. 

The Island itself is a nature reserve owned by Cornwall Wildlife Trust, and the organisers are grateful for the cooperation of the Trust in allowing the swim to start from the Island beach, and to the boatmen who will ferry swimmers out for the start.

Money raised from the previous Looe Island Swims has been put towards the Chestnut Appeal’s ongoing fundraising across Cornwall.
