Swim for Shoes - Christmas Day, 2011

A big THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the Christmas Swim yesterday and helped to raise almost 800 Euros to buy shoes for the children of «A Gaivota» in Albufeira - Congratulations.


The weather was kind (sunshine, blue sky and 17c) to the almost 150 Father Christmases that took part.
Certificates were awarded to all those who got wet and everyone enjoyed a very welcome glass of Hot Choclate and brandy in the Holiday Inn Algarve bar afterwards.

We also thank RTP and SIC for broadcasting this worthy action. And...don't forget, come join us for the New Year's Swim on the 1st of January,2012 same time, same place !!
