Boulters to Bray Swim Saturday 1 July 2017, from Boulters Inn at 6:15 a.m. The Boulters to Bray Swim can trace its origins back to the Long Swim, which was held annually in Maidenhead from the 1890s. The original event stopped running in 1969, but was reinstated in 2012 by the Boulters to Bray Swim Trust. The Trust is a not-for-profit organisation that is keen to maintain the original community spirit of the event, so all proceeds are used to support and promote other local amateur sports projects. Over 150 swimmers took part in 2016. Come and watch or take part! Full details on http://boulterstobrayswim.org/
