CHRISTMAS SWIM 2021
There will be no RNLI, Coastguard, St John Ambulance or Lifeguard cover in place on the beach and no one wants them to be called away from their families on Christmas Day for an emergency.
We are raising money for Wales Air Ambulance
During this national crisis, they need your help now more than ever.
Wales Air Ambulance covers the whole of Wales every single day. Each year their helicopters attend around 2,500 missions, covering rural countryside and our bustling towns and cities. This includes the length of our Welsh coastline and across our vast mountain ranges. Their four airbase operations in Caernarfon, Llanelli, Welshpool and Cardiff are ready to saves lives wherever needed.


The Porthcawl Christmas Swim has been raising thousands of pounds for local charities and organisations for over 50 years.
