Event summary

Join us for the spectacular Looe Island Swim, organized by Chestnut Events, on Sunday, September 8th, 2019, in the stunning coastal town of Looe, Cornwall. This exciting event features a swim distance of just over a mile, starting with an unforgettable journey aboard a glass-bottomed boat to the picturesque Looe Island. After a thorough safety briefing, swimmers will dive into the crystal-clear waters and make their way back to East Looe Beach, where they will be greeted with cheers and a delicious pasty to celebrate their accomplishment.

The Looe Island Swim not only promises a fantastic day for participants but also serves a noble cause. Last year, the swim raised an impressive £12,000 for Prostate Cancer patients and their families, and we encourage all swimmers to aim for a fundraising target of at least £50. Registration is just £35, which includes essential safety cover, a swim cap, full medical support, a medal, and an enamel mug to remember the day. Don't miss this chance to take part in a rewarding experience that combines fitness, fun, and community spirit on the beautiful shores of Cornwall!

Organiser's Description

The 2019 Looe Island to East Looe Beach swim will take place on Sunday 8th September with a swim time of around 13.00. (Please note this date has yet to be finalised)

The length of the swim is a little over a mile.

Swimmers are transported by Glass-Bottomed Boat to the Island where they will alight. The Safety Briefing will take place on the Island and once the safety team are in place the swim back to East Looe Beach will begin.

The 2018 swim was a huge success and the 120 swimmers raised a fantastic £12,000. The swim is held in partnership with the Rotary Club of Looe.

Registration for the swim is £35. Your entry fee covers the cost of organising the event, but it's the money you raise that helps Prostate Cancer patients and their families, so we ask all our Looe Island Swimmers set themselves a target of at least £50.
Your £35 registration includes:
Water Safety Cover
Event swim cap
Full lifeguard and medical support
A medal and enamel mug
A delicious pasty at the finish
