The Lamlash Splash, a 1.3-mile swim from the Holy Isle to Lamlash Pier, will take place this year on Saturday, September 17, at 11.30am.
Swimmers prepare to go into the water at last year’s event.

This very popular open water swimming event is limited to 40 places, with 10 places initially reserved for local swimmers. It is hoped that this year might see more locals participating as there is now an Ar ran open water swimming group on Facebook, so it is easy to find out when anyone is training at Brodick or Lamlash. In fact, a number of locals have already been in the icy waters – about eight degrees – hopefully warming up to about 12 degrees in September. The group are keen for more local swimmers to join them for training sessions.
