There are a number of Boxing Day swims taking place around the Island.
We’ll be heading to our local one, Ventnor, which always draws a large number of spectators as well as those brave enough to run into sea – many in fancy dress.
Organised by Ventnor Carnival Committee and raising money for P.A.T.C.H. (a local cancer charity), the whistle blows at midday.
Stick around in town afterwards to have a coffee or drink in one of the many pubs, restaurants and cafes opening especially for the day.
Other swims include:
- 11am at Gurnard with The Wave Project
- 11.15am opposite Pebbles Cafe in Sandown for Breast Cancer Now
- 12.30pm Small Hope Beach for Sandown and Shanklin Independent Lifeboat
