Last year proved to be very successful, with more than £1500 raised. The Christmas spirit was in abundance with hundreds crowding on to Portstewart Strand creating a very festive mood.

There are several sea swims over the festive season, but the organisers believe that this one is the oldest to be held on Christmas day and possibly the largest of all festive swims in the local area, the event is now in its 32nd year!

If you would like to take part, sponsor forms are available from the Hospice shops in Coleraine and Ballymoney or by calling John Phillips on 07773367287.
