In the face of so much uncertainty, we thought we should create a little bit of certainty. Due to the lockdown restrictions, noone has been able to put in any swimming training, in or outside; we don’t even know if sea swimming will be allowed in August.
Meanwhile, Caldey Island is closed to visitors and the Tenby harbour flotilla of ferries and other pleasure boats remains out of the water.
We hope all the entrants come out of this pandemic bursting with energy and that one day we can help them again channel it to swimming from Caldey Island to Tenby Harbour, adding to the legacy of this exceptional challenge.
