Solent swim

The Solent Swim is a fundraising event for the West Wight Sports & Community Centre Trust (registered charity number 273334).

During the year, Solent Swim is the main fundraising event for the Centre. WWSCC is more than just a swimming pool – it is a community hub, providing a range of facilities and services focusing on health, fitness, personal growth and development and supporting both physical and mental health and well-being. As a charity, we rely on ad hoc grants and fundraising events such as the Solent Swim to support our work and ensure the Centre can continue to operate.

PLEASE NOTE:

Entry numbers are limited.

Applications must be received by Friday 31st January 2025. Unfortunately, due to the high number of applications received, we are unable to accept late entries. All applications will be reviewed and successful applicants will be notified by Friday 14th February 2025.

Unsuccessful applicants will be informed and given the opportunity to join a waiting list. Those on the waiting list will be offered the opportunity to attend a rescue and recovery practice session and may be offered a place up to two weeks prior to the event date.

CONGRATULATIONS!

A massive well done and thank you to the 51 swimmers who completed the 2024 Solent swim! Thank you to swimmers, families, friends and supporters for your enthusiasm and support during the build up the event and during the event.
A HUGE thank you must also go to our army of volunteers, boat crews, lifeboats, kayakers, beach crew and everyone who made the event possible – the funds raised are essential to support the wellbeing and community work carried out through the Centre.
