This year's '30 bays' event has a new name for its tenth anniversary!
Instead of '30 Bays in 30 Days', it's now called the '30 Bays Summer Challenge' because it has been extended to the end of August rather than just the month of July.
The popular sea-swimming fundraiser sees people of all ages taking a dip every day at one of 30 coastal locations while collecting money for two local causes.
New for this year is 'Tide & Seek', a scavenger hunt where people will search for the hidden symbols on the 30 Bays signs.
Liana Summers-Shaw, Fundraising Officer for the National Trust for Jersey, said this year is a chance to get even more people involved:
"30 Bays is all about appreciating Jersey’s beautiful coastline and enjoying nature.
"If you like a fast-paced challenge, you could swim at every bay within thirty days as per the original 30 Bays, or take a more leisurely pace over the two-month event window.
"You can also just visit the bays for Tide & Seek, take a photo, or simply enjoy a mindful moment."
Marina Brockbank, Community Engagement Officer at Jersey Hospice Care, said:
"Events like the 30 Bays Summer Challenge are vital in helping both charities continue providing specialist services which can benefit the whole island.
"Every person who takes part is not only enriching their own wellbeing but also making a real difference to our two amazing charities.
"It’s a wonderful way to come together, enjoy Jersey’s coastline, and support causes that touch so many lives."
The opening swim is taking place on Sunday 28 June from 10am at Greve de Lecq.
