Weymouth and Portland Lions invite you to get sponsored for this daring annual swim across the harbour. Work up an appetite for your Christmas lunch!. The Lions, as always, will organise the event, all you have to do is get sponsored for your favourite cause. Over 150 brave souls took part last year raising hundreds of pounds for a variety of charities and good causes.
