Braving the still-warm waters of the Mediterranean, an intrepid group of social activists will swim for good causes again this year. On Boxing Day—December 26, 2024—the Paphos-based swimmers will meet at Venus Beach to raise money for the work of Caritas Cyprus, AIRS—Animal Infinite Rescue and Sanctuary Foundation and the Kidney Foundation. Last year, the event attracted dozens of enthusiastic participants and onlookers and raised over 900euros to boost the work of grassroots organizations working in Paphos and across the island. “We are hoping to increase this amount substantially,” said organizer Judith Snell. “What a healthful, creative and invigorating way to support the less fortunate on our island,” commented Elizabeth Kassinis of Caritas Cyprus.
