The Swim For Logan is an annual event, started in 2010 to raise funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

 

The trust is investing in to vital research for gene therapy that if successful would radically improve the life prospects of those with the condition.

The Trust also carries out numerous activities to help sufferers and families cope with the day to day problems and trials encountered by those living with cystic fibrosis.

The swim of approximately a mile takes place in Penzance Cornwall every August, from the Promenade slip to te Gear Pole and back.

Thanks To All Who Make It Possible

 

Registration And Timing
Nicola, James and Liam for impeccably running the registration and timing

Pre-Swim Training
Ian - from Mounts Bay Harriers – for running the pre-swim training at the Jubilee Pool, enabling so many to get back into the water and for a great job at the last hurdle: helping tired swimmers out of the sea.

Thanks also to Kathryn at Jubilee for helping to set up the training sessions and for the loan of stopwatches.

Collectors
Carol and Yvonne - our avid collectors – for rattling buckets and tins for the cause.

Jacqui, Jo and Mum and their family did an amazing job with a yummy cake and pasty stall, organising the raffle and providing sustenance for the weary swimmers, well done.

Safety On The Water
Most importantly, a big thank you for safety on the day.

Without support on the water we could not swim, the support these people and organisations provide is vital to the swim and most appreciated.
