Evening Swim Fundraiser takes place at Yaverland Beach on Sunday 20 September. The 16:30 start is confirmed; the 17:30 finish is an estimate based on the event format.
The community dip brings swimmers and supporters together beside the east Wight coast while raising money for local causes. Late-September sea conditions deserve respect, so make your own decision about kit and participation based on the weather and your open-water experience. The hour is as much about showing up for the fundraiser as entering the water. Friends can support from the beach, while experienced open-water swimmers make their own call on the conditions. Yaverland’s long sandy shore opens towards the chalk end of Culver, with little shelter when wind crosses the bay. The beach can feel very different from one tide and forecast to the next.
No advance booking is listed, and donations support the fundraiser. The 16:30 start is confirmed; 17:30 is an estimated finish. Sea temperature, wind and visibility can change the event more than a printed timetable, so judge the water against your own ability and bring warm layers for afterwards. Yaverland’s sport and fitness events include activities on land too. The source gives no safety-cover, changing-facility or kit details, so do not infer them from the friendly community format.
