WEATHER conditions have forced the cancellation of this morning's (Sunday's) Caldey Swim.
The event - which has 100 swimmers signed up - is now due to take place on Sunday August 26 at midday.
The 2.5 mile swim, between Caldey and Tenby, raises money for Tenby RNLI and Tenby Surflink.
It is organised by the Tenby Sea Swimming Association, whose chairman, Chris Osborne, said this morning: "With great regret, we have had to postpone today’s swim. After yesterday’s storm, the sea swell is making for difficult conditions. And even though the forecast indicates improvements until 1pm, the swell combined with gusts of between 13 and 15 mph thereafter give us cause for concern for all swimmers’ safety.
"We understand many have made huge efforts in preparation of, and travelling to, this event; however, safety must always be paramount in all our decisions. So disappointment all round."
