Pattaya Cross Bay Swim; Still Time To Enter

PATTAYA CROSS BAY SWIM; STILL TIME TO ENTER

There is still time to enter the Annual Pattaya Cross Bay Swim, which is a charity event organised by the Rotary Club of Jomtien-Pattaya. This year it will be held on Sunday 15th November and swimmers have a choice of two distances: 3.5 Km cross bay swim or the shorter 1.1 Km shoreline swim.

The event is held to raise funds for their many children’s fund project both around Pattaya and up-country.

Registration closes on Sunday 8th November, so there is still time to enter. In the past, we have had swimmers from 8 to 76 take part and from all walks of life: Expats and Tourists, Teachers and Students, business people and retirees. Last year there was even a Royal Thai Navy team. All nationalities are welcome.

Is the winner the one who swallows the least turds, or the most? :)

I could make the swim no problem without any time constraints but the sun would kill me. The sun is the real danger in this event for whiteys like me. I hope it is at least slightly cloudy for the sake of the swimmers

Open to all nationalities eh? Don't you need a cert of residence or a non imm visa then?

Just ask people to sponsor you to stick your head in the toilet and flush it. Same result

"More French to swim alongside the Germans are encouraged to participate" say event promoters. No sponsorshit necessary, just floater tasting and sampling, all fwee!

Anybody remember funfairs or kids parties and apple bobbing, ie an apple in a bucket of water and you had to get it out by just using your mouth, welcome to Pattaya's annual turd bobbing event :)

Will Graham be joining us? Or will he bar fine a girl and make her do it for him?

well . . . I considered entering this event; judging by above comments the water quality may be . . . lumpy?
Is it really that bad/polluted? Not keen on an hour in 'that' if there's a genuine health risk.
thanks G61
