The annual Thomas Smith Christmas Charity Swim will be held on December 28.

People are encouraged to participate and raise funds for the Malta Community Chest Fund, while making their way to the long-established location off the pier in front of the Plough and Anchor Pub, Sliema.

Registration starts at 9.30am. President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca will be launching the event at 10.30am. Last year, 299 people braved the cold, jellyfish-infested waters to raise €13,000.

Participants may fill in a donations tracker form prior to the event including details and amounts donated by the swimmers’ sponsors.

The form may be obtained from the event’s Facebook page, by calling Thomas Smith offices on 2205 8058 or by e-mailing charityswim@tcsmith.com.

Those who can’t make it to the event yet wish to donate may do so via a bank transfer to: HSBC Bank (Malta) Account No. 033-080037-002.
