START having cold water showers, because it’s training time for the annual Fish Hoek Spring Splash!
Held on the first Sunday in September, the Spring Splash will put an instant spring in your step (or, at least, a cold twitch in the one toe that still has feeling left after the swim).
Everyone – sane and insane – is invited to join in this hearty Fish Hoek tradition on Sunday 5 September.
If you love the slightly eccentric gees of Fish Hoek, step forward to the starting line just before 15:00, when the countdown will take place. At exactly 15:00, the signal will sound for the mad dash into the water to welcome the calendar start of spring. Of course, thanks to global warming and other inscrutable mysteries, the calendar is not always right – but what the heck, someone needs to take the lead.
Celebrate your victory afterwards with warming refreshments at reduced prices for all swimmers, served up by the Galley Restaurant.
Families are encouraged to make a day of it. There will be fun activities for children, from 10:00, presented by the Mad Hatters business coalition.
The theme for the Spring Splash is “Wildlife in Fish Hoek” and participants must dress up in outrageous outfits to fit the bill. The best outfit will win a mystery prize!
Be there if you’ve got what it takes!
