The launch of the 2016 Saundersfoot New Year’s Day Swim took place at the St. Brides Spa Hotel this week. During the event, the 2016 shirt was also unveiled and Charlie Shivers was there to welcome this year’s sponsors.

The 2016 swim will be the village’s 32nd 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 1500 swimmers raising over £40,000.

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 & Spa once again for their generous hospitality, as well as Gareth Davies Photography.

The 2016 swim shirt is now on sale at Elements of Pembrokeshire, The Strand, Saundersfoot. All profits from the shirt will be donated to charity.
