Overview

We’ve teamed up with Sideshore in Exmouth to organise a swim and aquathlon. Sideshore is an award winning Community Interest Company that delivers community initiatives, partnerships and events. With high tide at 11.09 am on race day races will start from 10.30am to give the best conditions for swimmers.

This swim will help raise funds to keep their programme of activities going.
