More than 200 people took part in the RNLI’s annual Castle to Castle Swim at the weekend raising thousands of pounds for the charity which saves lives at sea.

?Despite a drizzly start to the day competitors turned out in force for the event which is now in its eighth year. 

The one-mile swim took place on Sunday, starting at Pendennis Castle in Falmouth and finishing at St Mawes Castle on the Roseland Peninsula. All 221 participants made it across the finish line.

Donations are still coming in but it is hoped the swim will raise up to £15,000 for the RNLI.

More fundraisers are planned for this year, with the registration soon to open for the RNLI Around the Mount Swim in Marazion.

The two-mile swim will take place on Saturday, September 10.
