Sunday 28th September – swim time 9am

If you’ve ever looked out from Plymouth and wanted to get closer to mysterious Drake’s island – then this is the swim for you. The swim starts on the beach at Firestone Bay, with swimmers setting out for the Island, round a marker buoy and making their way back to the beach a distance of around 1.5km.

Registration for the swim now open and costs £35. The cost of your entry ticket helps us to cover the costs associated with the event, such as paying our fantastic water safety team.

The money you raise through GivenGain goes towards supporting the charity’s current aims.We ask that swimmers set themselves a fundraising target of £75.

Our work with prostate, testicular and penile cancer patients and their families is only possible thanks to donations. So supporting our fellow men like this really is an act of kindness. I’d like to thank you not only for your generosity, which will help so many, but also for caring enough to support us.
