Park Authority pledges support for Boxing Day swim

The popular event, which was cancelled last year as a result of the Covid pandemic, will be returning with a splash at the end of December to celebrate its postponed 50th anniversary.

Other sponsors include Outer Reef, Harbour Wealth Management, Princes Gate Spring Water and N.D. Toy & Partners.

Tegryn Jones, Chief Executive of Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, said: “It’s an honour to support Tenby’s festive fundraiser as it celebrates its half-centenary – a matter of months before the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park celebrates its 70th anniversary.

“The Boxing Day Swim is a firm favourite with locals and visitors alike. As well as raising thousands for good causes, it has become a real highlight of the winter season.”

This year’s streamlined event will follow a Golden theme and focus purely on the Swim. In place of medals and the traditional bucket collectors, swimmers are being asked to register online at www.tenbyboxingdayswim.co.uk/buy-tickets/ and pay a nominal entry fee. Those who do so will receive a certificate to commemorate their participation in this landmark event. All money raised through entry fees will be divided between The Dai Rees Foundation, Tenby Memory Cafe and Tenby RNLI.
