Brave swimmers looking for a chilly winter challenge are invited to head out to Matheson Bay for the annual Leigh Community Mid-Winter swim.

This year, the swim takes place on Sunday, June 21 – the shortest day of the year.

Swimmers will collectively plunge into the water at 10.15am.

Afterwards, Leigh School will provide hot soup and baking and the Leigh Central business community will have a stall offering coffee and tea.

Money raised will support community causes.   

The Leigh Waste Minimisation Team will also have a stall selling environmentally-friendly shopping bags.
