Another coastal charity swim in Dorset was cancelled because of concerns about water conditions on Thursday.
The Weymouth and Portland Lions Club took the decision to end its Christmas Day Harbour Swim after the first of 10 scheduled swims.
“This was not an easy decision, but it was the right one in the interests of safety for all participants, water support teams, and spectators,” it said in a statement.
“We are grateful that both swimmers and spectators supported this decision.
“Despite the cancellation, many spectators continued to donate generously into the collection buckets, for which we are extremely thankful.”
