The Porthcawl Christmas Morning Swim is one of the region's longest-running community events, and now a registered charity in its own right. Sponsoring it puts your name alongside something the whole town turns out for — and every pound we raise goes back out as grants to local good causes.
The reach
- 1,000+ swimmers every Christmas morning
- 60 years of unbroken tradition since 1965
- £175,000+ raised for local charities and causes
- Thousands of spectators line the seafront
A registered charity in England & Wales, no. 1217800.
