Carl Studd, who is helping to organise this year's event, said: "It might seem a long way off but the days leading up to Christmas are going to pass by really quickly now and we want to start getting a list of names together.
"It's a great event because everyone gets a great adrenaline kick out of taking part, and we always have a lot of people turning up to wish us well."
If you would like to take part in this year's swim you can call Carl on Ipswich 424641.
