The launch of the 2020 Saundersfoot New Year’s Day Swim took place at the St. Brides Spa Hotel last week.

During the event, the 2020 shirt was also unveiled and Charlie Shivers was there to welcome this year’s sponsors.

The 2020 swim will be the village’s 36th and over recent years the swim has gone from strength to strength raising thousands and thousands of pounds for charitable and worthy causes. Last year attracted over 2000 swimmers generating over £50,000.

Martyn Williams, Chairman of Saundersfoot Festivities said: “The swim is an important date in the calendar for the village. The NYDS shirt has become an integral part of promoting the swim. I am delighted with this year’s sponsorship.

“The financial support is vital for the future of the swim. It will also ensure that every penny raised by the swimmers will be allocated to their nominated charities.

“The generosity which the businesses have shown towards the sponsorship of the swim has been very much appreciated.”

Saundersfoot Festivities would like to thank St. Brides Hotel and Spa once again for their generous hospitality.

The 2020 swim shirt is now on sale at Elements of Pembrokeshire, The Strand, Saundersfoot.

All profits from the shirt will be donated to charity.
