Sunday May 28th the volunteer crew of the Mumbles lifeboats are rowing the distance from Mumbles to Tenby and back.

The distance of approximately 100,000 metres will be completed in one day. Through the month of May RNLI volunteer lifeboat crew across the country have been setting themselves huge sponsored challenges.
The May Day appeal is to raise money for the RNLI. This epic task will take our crew approximately 5 hrs and between them they'll burn over 20, 000 calories. The public are welcome to come and see the crew on the static rowing machines take on the task of rowing the simulated distance from Mumbles to Tenby and back.
