Coronavirus statement

We are determined to be able to offer an event on Christmas Day and to continue with the long running tradition. Exactly what that event will look like however we are not yet sure.
What we are sure of is that it will be fun, it will be safe and it will help us continue to raise lots of money for local charities.
We look forward to giving you more information soon – including who our headline charity will be this year.

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