The Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust are excited to announce that tickets are now on sale for their first ever open water swimming event. On Friday 3rd May from 6pm to 8pm, the local charity is welcoming experienced and first time ‘dippers’ to family run Watersedge in Bishampton, an 11-acre unspoilt lake to absorb the tranquil, calming vibes of an open water experience. After their splash, guests can enjoy prosecco and pizza whilst warming up in the stretch tent next to the beautiful lake, surrounded by happy, positive vibes that the boho-like venue offers to all who visit.
Coralie Hudson, Community and Corporate Fundraiser said,
“With the increasing popularity of open water swimming, we are so excited to be offering this brand-new fundraising event for the Trust. Watersedge is a truly magical place, and we are looking forward to welcoming supporters both new and experienced at open water swimming to enjoy some peaceful time out whilst supporting local oncology families who desperately need our help.”
The event offers a wonderful opportunity to catch up with friends, family or colleagues whilst doing something a little bit different to welcome in spring with style and a splash and support the local charity who receive no statutory funding. Tickets are £35 each and include post dip pizza and prosecco for a tranquil evening as the sun sets over the picturesque setting in rural Worcestershire. The horse box coffee bar will be open for hot drinks too. All Watersedge lifeguards are RLSS trained.
Sophy and Emily, Watersedge said,
“No one ever regrets a swim, even on the rainy days. It gives a feeling of accomplishment and unites everyone together, in one happy place: the water.
The Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust has such a personal feel, and the thought of children suffering is unbearable to think about let alone experience. So, to indirectly help support families going through the toughest of times is something that wasn’t ever a question. We are full of admiration for all that you each and every one of the team does.”
Open water swimming is reported to have huge health benefits including:
1. Improved sleep
2. Increased happiness
3. A boosted immune system
4. Preventing and managing long-term health conditions
