Open Water Swim – Bare it for the Bard
Shakespeare Hospice – Open Waters Swim
Date: Sunday 7th August 2022
Venue: Spot-On Wake, Wootton Park, Wootton Wawen, B95 6HJ
On Sunday 7th August we’ll be returning to Spot-On Wake for our Bare it for the Bard Open Water Swim Challenge in memory of Sharne Phipps.
This year’s event will be bigger and better with 2 swims to choose from:
• Challenge Swim (10 starts) – swim as many loops as you can in 1 hour!
• 1-hour Freestyle Swim (11.15 am or 12.30 pm start)
Fun family activities
There will be activities on the day to keep the whole family entertained including the one-of-a-kind Aqua Jungle (ages 8+ ) and demonstrations from some of Spot-On Wake’s seasoned wakeboarders.
Register today
It costs £10 per person to take part and we ask that you raise a minimum of £30 in sponsorship for the Hospice. Once you’ve registered you’ll receive a link to your personal fundraising page which you can share with family and friends. All swimmers will receive a branded Shakespeare Hospice swim hat and will take home a medal and certificate on the day.
Please note: to take part in this event, it is a requirement of Spot-On Wake that you sign a waiver before you can enter the water. A link to the waiver will be provided once you have registered your place.
