St Michael's Mount Swim 2023. Saturday 12th August swim time 13.00
The St Michaels Mount swim starts on the beach at Marazion where swimmers set off for the Mount over the causeway swimming through clear waters around the Mount before making a course back to the beach.
Swimming around the Mount is a wonderful experience and is one of our more challenging swims.
Please make sure you can complete the distance of 2.5km in a pool and have experience of swimming in open water and in varying sea conditions.
The St Michaels Mount swim will be fully supported by the team from Event Water Safety.
Registration for the swim is £40. and your entry fee covers the cost of organising the event.
Its the money you raise through sponsorship that helps Prostate Cancer patients and their families. We ask that all our St Michaels Mount Swimmers set themselves a fundraising goal of £80.
So if you fancy a new challenge and at the same time raise money to help men with Male Cancers across the region then why not register today.
Your £40 registration includes
- Water Safety Cover
- Event swim cap
- Full lifeguard and medical support
- Event Medal
- a delicious pasty
Swim distance 2.5km
