ISLANDERS are being invited to register to take part in the 30 Bays in 30 Days swims which take place next month.

Last year, 494 people took part in the popular swimming event, which has become an annual tradition.

Participants are encouraged to swim 30 strokes in 30 bays in order to raise money for Jersey Hospice Care and the National Trust for Jersey.

The opening swim is due to take place on Saturday 1 July on St Brelade’s Bay at 4pm. A closing swim will take place on Sunday 30 July at the same time.

Community engagement officer at Jersey Hospice Care Marina Brockbank said: ‘It has been great to see 30 Bays in 30 Days grow in popularity over the years and become a staple part of Jersey summer.

‘It gets everyone out an about exploring the Island, enjoying the sea and of course, raising valuable funds for two local charities.’

Participants can also visit their closest bay 30 times and swim 30 strokes there, instead of visiting 30 different bays.

Donna Le Marrec, marketing and events manager at the National Trust for Jersey said: ‘We hope as many people as possible will take part and enjoy the 30 Bays in 30 Days challenge.

‘Please do not be put off if you think that you cannot complete the challenge in July, we encourage you to continue in August or just swim in your favourite bay as many times as you can.’
