THE Western Swimming Pool is repeating the challenge to swim the distance of the TT course – 2,416 lengths – in just 12 weeks.
If you think you’ve got what it takes to swim the length of the course, you can either enter as an individual or as part of a team.
The pool held the challenge for the first time last year and a number of people took part.
The organisers are hoping that this year it will be bigger and better than last year.
Last year the challenge raised £3,130 towards helping the St John Ambulance Isle of Man Community First Responders.
The 2013 challenge kicks-off on Wednesday, January 9.
Although the event is run by the Western Swimming Pool, people can complete their lengths in any pool.
Some of the stand-out achievements during the 2012 TT swim challenge included Julian Barton finishing it twice; Julia Furner being first to finish the challenge in eight days, with Christian Cowin a few hours later at nine days; Dhoona Leece, 10, being the youngest in the individual swim category to complete the challenge; and Sorcha Osborne, 11, raising £1,000 on her own and presenting the Community First Responders with five Tetra radios on the awards night.
It costs £10 per individual entry and £15 per team entry.
The Western Swimming Pool is offering a discounted pool admission fee for people taking part.
