76 Swimmers To Take On Solent Swim Challenge For West Wight Charity

Seventy-six swimmers will take on this year's Cross Solent Swim on Saturday 25th July, raising vital funds for West Wight Sports and Community Centre.

Among them are swimming club coaches Lottie James, Bethany Williams and Jack Pickford, as well as brothers Michael (76) and Clive Bullock (71).

Despite Michael overcoming scoliosis and both brothers currently undergoing treatment for prostate cancer, they will complete the crossing together while raising money for the centre and prostate cancer support.

Supporters are invited to cheer the swimmers into Colwell Bay from around 8am.
