This year's Jersey Swimarathon has raised more than £78,000.
Nearly 400 teams of swimmers - from schools, offices sports and charities - took part in the annual fundraiser at Les Quennevais Pool.
Across the five days, they completed 23,215 laps.
At the close of the event of Sunday (23 March) donations totalling £78,425.95 has been counted up.
Organisers The Lions Club say they are delighted that figure is almost £2,000 more than last year, with more sponsorship money still coming in.
Lion Chris Palmer, organising committee chairman, said:
“Once again, after so many years, it is still amazing to see so many swimmers of all ages taking part and clearly enjoying the event.
"The exertions of the swimmers make the event what it is and the generosity of our sponsors Ravenscroft covering all the administration costs means that every penny raised by the teams of swimmers goes to charity.
"Furthermore, the success of the event and its very existence relies on the support of many volunteers, suppliers and the help and expertise of the management and staff of Les Quennevais pool.”
The money will be shared between seven local cancer charities - ABC Breast Cancer Support Jersey, CLIC Sargent Jersey, Friends of Jersey Oncology, Jersey Brain Tumour Charity, Jersey Cancer Relief, Macmillan Cancer Support and Jersey Hospice.
Haydn Taylor, chairman of Ravenscroft in Jersey, added:
“We are all aware that many Islanders are struggling financially but to see them being as generous as they have been in support of the principal beneficiaries is just remarkable.
These seven charities provide invaluable support to those Islanders, their families and friends living with cancer and we are delighted to play our part once again.”
The Swimarathon has raised almost £4 million since the first one in 1972.
