Jim’s Swim for Cornwall Mind

Make a splash for Cornwall Mind at this summer’s fresh water swimming challenge!

Brave the chilly waters at Adrenalin Quarry’s 22m deep 300m long lake at a unique event where you set your own limits. Choose to swim lengths, widths or just dip your toes in – either way, enjoy a ‘swim-sational’ morning full of fun and exhilaration!

Join us on Saturday, 28th June, at the amazing Adrenalin Quarry in Menheniot and embrace the benefits of cold water swimming and being outdoors, all whilst raising vital funds for Cornwall Mind.

Open to children aged 12 and over, spaces are limited to 90 people. All participants must be able to swim 1000m in open water without stopping or support and sign a waiver before entering. There will be a full health and safety briefing on arrival and a lifeguarded boat will be on the lake throughout.

Adrenalin Quarry are kindly sponsoring the event, called ‘Jim’s Swim’ after Jim Candy who set up the swimming challenge four years ago. They are also donating a free zip wire to each person who raises over £100 in sponsorship.

To be part of this amazing experience, tickets cost £15 and we ask that everyone raise a minimum of £31 in sponsorship. A recent Mind report found that 31% of people in the UK now experience high levels of anxiety.

Your sponsorship will help our fight for better mental health in Cornwall.

So…take the plunge and set up your justgiving page here. Or download a sponsor form – Cornwall Mind sponsorship form.
