Get your swimmers out for Hastings RNLI’s third December Dip to raise money for its volunteer crew. The sea averages a rather nippy 11°C at this time of year but there is a hot drink waiting when you get out if that helps.
Sign in at Hastings Lifeboat Station between 9:30 am and 10:30 am, ready for the first dippers to head into the water at 11 am. Entry is £10 and everyone who takes part gets a commemorative swim badge, plus a sweet treat with their drink afterwards.
You are encouraged to raise sponsorship too. Once you have registered, you can set up a fundraising page through the event’s JustGiving campaign.
The dip is open to adults and children over 12. Younger children can come and watch but all children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Lifeguards will be there throughout.
There is Christmas music and hot drinks for spectators staying dry.
