Family fun at Hospiscare swim

New facilities promise more family fun at Hospiscare’s popular one-mile open water swim event.

The challenge, now in its third year, is on 24th September at Roadford Lake near Okehampton where new facilities include a 9-metre rope course and indoor climbing area offering plenty of entertainment for family and friends.

Entry for the swim is now closed.

Hospiscare is hoping that more than 400 swimmers will this year take part in the only lake-based event of its kind in the south west. The challenge is suitable for both novice and experienced swimmers and all sponsorship raised will be used to help patients and their families in Exeter, mid and East Devon.

Event organisers are also appealing for volunteer kayakers to help marshal the course. Anyone who can help should contact Jen Waldron on 01392 688052 j.waldron@hospiscare.co.uk

Sponsors of this year’s event include Exeter Family Friendly and Thrifty car and van rental.
