The Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment (PWRR) nicknamed “The Tigers” are supporting their community with Fierce Pride in the summer of 2014. Between the tidal window of 24th and 25th July the team of six swimmers from the Regiment (The Tiger Sharks), including both Regular soldiers and Reservists, many of whom have served their country on active duty in Afghanistan, Iraq, the Balkans and Northern Ireland successfully swam the English Channel through the night in 16 hours 22 minutes during Force 4/5 winds.
The team are determined to raise funds for the charities SCOPE (who help disabled people by providing a range of services), Naomi House & Jacks Place and Demelza (both of which are hospices providing care and support to children and young people who suffer from life-limiting or life threatening conditions)together with the Regimental Benevolent Fund.
PWRR come from and are part of the community that these charities support, with the Regiment recruiting from Sussex, Kent, Hampshire, Middlesex, Surrey, London and the Channel Islands. PWRR are the 2013 Army Swimming Champions and with success in the English Channel it is true to say that the Tigers truly do love water! Please support this dedicated group of men in this exceptional challenge and help them to raise funds to help those in very great need. Your support is very much appreciated.
