'December Dip' replaces this year's Christmas Day Weymouth Harbour swim
This year's event was cancelled due to the pandemic.
Weymouth's much-loved Christmas Day Harbour swim won't be going ahead this year due to the pandemic, but organisers have come up with another idea.
Its called the Big December Dip.
Weymouth & Portland Lions Club is encouraging as many Dorset residents as possible to take part to raise funds for causes close to their hearts.
So how does it work?
Anyone can enter. You might want to don your outfit and take a dip in the bath or a paddle in the sea!
A spokesman for Weymouth & Portland Lions Club said:
"We know many charities and particularly local ones, have struggled this year and this gives everyone an opportunity to raise much-needed funds for good causes, whilst staying safe.
"Whilst we are encouraging Dorset residents to participate, anyone else in the UK, is welcome to take on the Big December Dip at any time throughout the Christmas month - after all many would come to our Xmas Day swim from the whole of the UK."
How to take part
Entrants are encouraged to dress up and think of imaginative dips, take photos and videos and share these to social media with the hashtag #bigdecemberdip.
To enter, email k2brookes@aol.com
To support the challenge, the Weymouth & Portland Lions Club is offering ÂŁ50 to the person raising the most funds for their chosen charity and a further ÂŁ50 to the entrant who takes the best photo or video for his or her charity.
A spokesman for Weymouth and Portland Lions Club added:
"It's a great fun way to lift spirits at the end of a very difficult year.
"We can't wait to see all the images and to help our fantastic community support their favourite charity."
