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 (10am start) - 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.
You must wear a brightly coloured swim hat - we recommend using our branded hat free with your registration (swim hats are available to purchase from the office at Spot-On Wake)
The use of a wetsuit is optional but recommended (wetsuits are not available to hire at Spot-On Wake)
Participants must be 14 years or over on the date of the event and should be a strong and competent swimmer.
