The date for the swim this year is the 20th of September sea temp the usual "13 Celcius" 

Hi there  , you can send the event organiser a message here
I was considering asking him if he wanted to use this as a kind of "home" site for the Lamlash Splash.
Are you local to arran? have you done any other events like this before?

Other details of the event I can give you are:
Takes place from the jetty on Holy Isle 1.3miles across Lamlash Bay to the main pier, search for a map of the Isle of Arran and you will find lamlash bay towards the southend on the east coast.
Typical sea temperatures are around 13C out in the middle of the bay the waves can be quite big but they are wide apart so its not too bad There also can the be the odd jelly fish left around at that time of year (20th September) but chances of being stung are quite slim.

Hi, I was also hoping for more information about the lamlash splash, ie what safety cover is there if any, time, wet suits yes or no....

But now I hear there is also a Forth event. Was this an organised event??

Well, despite my 3.4 mile detour I still managed to come second!

Was a bit annoyed cos i felt like I was swimming very fast, but unfortunatley in the wrong direction! so the 30 minute barrier has yet to be broken...maybe next year
