World Bog Snorkelling Championships

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the World Bog Snorkelling Championships and we are wallowing in delight to be the 2010 sponsor of the wackiest weekend in British sport!

Every August bank holiday, hundreds of hardy competitors and their muddy buddies from all over the world descend on Llanwrtyd Wells in Powys, mid Wales for this fun-tastic display of British eccentricity.

Armed with their sense of humour as well as the essential mask, snorkel and flippers, competitors must complete two consecutive lengths of a 60 yard bog trench using flipper power alone.

The FunSwimShop World Bog Snorkelling Championship is open to anyone over the age of 14 who is prepared to get down and dirty and make a splash on the Bog Snorkelling scene. The fastest times are recorded in the Guinness Book of Records.

We caught the Bog bug after supplying the equipment for the Big Brother Bog Snorkelling task in 2009.  It seemed a natural progression to become the 2010 sponsor. This event is Seriously Fun and we hope the FunSwimShop World Bog Snorkelling Championship will be the most successful ever!
