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.
Where we need hands
Pick what suits you — or tell us and we'll figure it out together.
-
Event-day steward
Guide the crowds on the beach, point people in the right direction, and back up the safety teams so everyone gets in and out safely.
-
Bucket collector
Collect donations with a bucket on the morning, so every splash turns into money for local causes.
-
Fundraising champion
In the run-up to Christmas: share the campaign, run a raffle, or rally your workplace or club to take part.
-
Photo, video & drone
Capture the costumes, the chaos and the community spirit — stills, video or aerial — for the website and the press.
-
Something else
Got a skill or just an hour spare? Tell us what you can offer and we'll find a spot for you.
