About the event
While the full moon phase technically only lasts for an instant, it appears full to the naked eye for a period of about one or two nights. This is because the illuminated portion of the moon changes very gradually around the time of the full moon. For this reason we are doing the full moon swim on the 2nd night, a Friday night, to make it easier for those working.
July's full moon is known as Buck Moon. Why? Male deer, which shed their antlers every year, begin to regrow them in July, hence the Native American name for July's full moon. Some refer to this moon as the thunder moon, due to the summer storms in this month. Other names include the hay moon, after the July hay harvest.
Chani Courtney from SAS is coming to talk to us for around 45 mins before we take our full moon…
