Lend a hand

Volunteer with us

The swim runs on volunteers — the people in hi-vis keeping a thousand swimmers safe, rattling buckets, and cheering the loudest. A couple of hours, once a year.

Email the team

A thousand-plus swimmers, thousands of spectators, one beach, one morning. It only works because dozens of people give a bit of time. No experience needed — just turn up ready to muck in.
