Since 2007 the people of Gaza have been imprisoned. They have no parks, no mountains, no valleys; no escape.
But they have the sea – their only free space for fun.
Let’s join them in the sea for a solidarity swim. Each year they have a swimming festival on Gaza beach called the Gaza Swimming Carnival.
This year the Swimming Festival will be held on Saturday 26th August – and in act of solidarity we aim to join thousands of other people around the world swimming in solidarity with the people of Gaza.
The date is Saturday 26th August. Join us:
• London, Parliament Hill Lido, Gordon House Road NW5 1LT, 9:30 to 10:30 am
• St Leonards, Hastings, Coast Guard Station, front of Azur, from 4:00 pm
• Brighton, Brighton Beach by The West Pier in front of the i360 tower, 3:00 to 5:00 pm
