Polar Bear Challenge
Back again for a fifth year, the Weston Polar Bear Challenge is a non-competitive fundraiser to help towards the regeneration of Weston Marine Lake.
Everyone who completes 12 polar bear actions between the 1st of October 2024 and the 31st of March 2025, with a minimum of 2 per month will be presented with a Weston Polar Bear Challenge cloth swim badge at our end of season beach party!
Please pay £15.00 before starting the challenge (or £5 for Bear Cubs under 14).
All money will go towards funding the defibrillator on the side of the RNLI shop.
You can do your land action, dip or swim anywhere as long as it’s outdoors and cold – it doesn’t have to be in Weston but we’d love to have you here :
Choose your challenge!
