The Thomas Smith Christmas Charity Swim will be held again this year to raise funds for the Malta Community Chest Fund.

Running into its 16th edition, the swim will take place on December 28.

Last year, a record-breaking number of swimmers, 299, braved the cold, jellyfish-infested waters to raise €13,000.

Thomas Smith aims to collect even more money this year and is encouraging swimmers to raise €50 each.

Forms are available from the Thomas Smith Christmas Charity Swim Facebook page or via 2205 8058.

Those unable to attend can make a donation at HSBC Bank (Malta) plc, 32, Merchants Street, Valletta, account no. 033-080037-002, Swift code: MMEBMTMT, or IBAN No. T04MMEB44336000000033080037002.
