Awdurdod y Parc yn cefnogi nofio ar Ŵyl San Steffan

 Mae Awdurdod Parc Cenedlaethol Arfordir Penfro yn falch iawn o fod yn un o brif noddwyr Nofio ar Ŵyl San Steffan yn Ninbych-y-pysgod eleni.

Bydd y digwyddiad poblogaidd, a gafodd ei ganslo’r llynedd oherwydd y pandemig Covid, yn dychwelyd gyda sblash ddiwedd mis Rhagfyr i ddathlu ei hanner canmlwyddiant.

Mae noddwyr eraill yn cynnwys Outer Reef, Harbour Wealth Management, Princes Gate Spring Water a N.D. Toy & Partners.

Dywedodd Tegryn Jones, Prif Weithredwr Awdurdod Parc Cenedlaethol Arfordir Penfro: “Mae’n anrhydedd cefnogi digwyddiad codi arian Nadoligaidd Dinbych-y-pysgod wrth iddo ddathlu ei hanner canmlwyddiant – a hynny ychydig o fisoedd cyn i Barc Cenedlaethol Arfordir Penfro ddathlu ei ben-blwydd yn 70 oed.

“Mae Nofio ar Ŵyl San Steffan yn ffefryn mawr gyda phobl leol ac ymwelwyr fel ei gilydd. Yn ogystal â chodi miloedd ar gyfer achosion da, mae wedi dod yn ddigwydiad sy’n uchafbwynt go iawn i dymor y gaeaf.”

Bydd y digwyddiad eleni wedi ei symleiddio ac yn dilyn thema Aur, gan ganolbwyntio ar y Nofio yn unig. Yn lle medalau a’r casglwyr bwced traddodiadol, gofynnir i nofwyr gofrestru ar-lein yn www.tenbyboxingdayswim.co.uk/buy-tickets/ a thalu ffi fach i gymryd rhan. Bydd pawb sy’n cofrestru yn cael tystysgrif i nodi eu bod wedi cymryd rhan yn y digwyddiad pwysig hwn. Bydd yr holl arian a godir trwy ffioedd yn cael ei rannu rhwng Sefydliad Dai Rees, Tenby Memory Cafe, ac RNLI Dinbych-y-pysgod.

Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority is delighted to be one of the main sponsors of this year’s Tenby Boxing Day Swim.

The popular event, which was cancelled last year as a result of the andemic, will be returning with a splash to celebrate its postponed 50th anniversary.

Other sponsors include Outer Reef, Harbour Wealth Management, Princes Gate Spring Water and N.D. Toy & Partners.

Tegryn Jones, chief executive of Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, said: “It’s an honour to support Tenby’s festive fundraiser as it celebrates its half-centenary – a matter of months before the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park celebrates its 70th anniversary.

“The Boxing Day Swim is a firm favourite with locals and visitors alike. As well as raising thousands for good causes, it has become a real highlight of the winter season.”

This year’s streamlined event will follow a Golden theme and focus purely on the swim. In place of medals and the traditional bucket collectors, swimmers are being asked to register online at www.tenbyboxingdayswim.co.uk/buy-tickets/ and pay a nominal entry fee. Those who do so will receive a certificate to commemorate their participation. All money raised through entry fees will be divided between the Dai Rees Foundation, Tenby Memory Café and Tenby RNLI.
