The Big Dip, sponsored by Speedo, will see up to 200 participants take a dip in the sea, all to raise vital funds for Switchboard LGBT Helpline.
Expect competitions for best ‘Prided up swimmers’ and there will be pre and post swim activities, including breathwork sessions, a pop-up sauna and a post-event celebration at Sea Lanes.
All participants will get a specially designed Speedo x Pride Swim swim cap, a medal and a Speedo goody bag.
The price to join is £10, with the opportunity to add an extra donation to Switchboard LGBT+ Helpline.
