Low Tiders - August 2026
Next Up SwimTayka - Low Tiders
Four swimmers. One boat. One huge challenge.
This team is preparing to take on the English Channel together, facing cold water, unpredictable conditions and hours at sea. Each swimmer will take their turn in the water, supporting one another all the way to France while raising vital funds for SwimTayka and helping more children learn to swim and stay safe around water.
