Isle Of Wight's Vitamin Sea At The Quay Event Postponed

Swim The Wight

The Isle of Wight's Vitamin Sea at the Quay event has been postponed.

As previously reported by Isle of Wight Radio, open water swimmers Swim The Wight are inviting Islanders to come along to their Mini Festival at Quay Arts, Newport.

The event, which is the first of its kind, will now happen in September if restrictions allow.

The evening will consist of talks by open water world champion and Olympic silver medalist Keri-Anne Pane and endurance swimmer Lewis Pugh.

A 'Meet the Team' session is taking place on the beach at Sandown on Friday 2 July at 6pm ahead of the event.

It will also offer advice on safe sea swimming on the Island.

Sandy Ciccognani, one of Swim The Wight's Directors told Isle of Wight Radio:

“The event is a mixture of talks, stalls, food and films - you need to book in advance. We have some amazing talks…

“We are also going to have local artists small businesses with their stalls. We are also lucky to have sponsorship from Mermaid gin so gin will be there in our mermaid lounge…

“If you are involved in any activity that you think may be of interest to open water swimmers, contact me as there is still time to get involved in the event. If anyone wants to improve their swimming or get into cold water get in touch with us.

“Vitamin Sea at the key is about sharing our love of open water swimming and it is an opportunity to get together with other swimmers and share other information that is out there.”

Sunday 5 September is the new date for the event.
