This year we are extremely grateful that Louvre Group will again be sponsoring the Open Castle Swim. It is being held on Saturday 29th August 2020. Should conditions not allow the swim to take place, then the reserve date is Sunday 30th August.
Due to maintenance works still taking place at the Castle Cornet Slipway, the swim will start at the Slaughterhouse Slipway and finish at the Horseshoe Pool at La Vallette. The first batch of 50 swimmers will start at 3.30pm and swimmers will then be sent in waves.
This event is open to the public and swimmers will need to pay a minimum donation of £3 with all proceeds going to Guernsey Mind.
The minimum age of this swim is 11 years old on the day of the event. The oldest swimmer to complete the course will be presented with the Bill Green Memorial Trophy which has been presented since 1996.
Swimmers are able to register on the day from 2:30pm but we would recommend downloading and completing the events Disclaimer Form from the Guernsey Swimming Club website in advance. This can then be brought along on the day to help ease the registration process for our volunteers.
