Every June, Falmouth Rotary volunteers cater at the famous RNLI Castle-to-Castle swim event. Rotarians serve up hot sausages and bacon with tea and coffee to hundreds of hungry helpers and swimmers in the shadow of St Mawes Castle. Hundreds of swimmers take part each year.
In 2018, 280 swimmers took part. In 2019 this increased to 450.
