It’s become a bit of a tradition, no matter what the weather, to strip off that Christmas jumper and plunge into the icy water on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.

Brighton Beach Christmas Day Swim

One of the longest running festive swims out there. Take a dip with Brighton Swimming Club in the chilly sea – they’ve been doing it every year since the 19th century.

Christmas Day
Stay at YHA Brighton

The Peter Pan Cup

Every Christmas Day morning, the members of the Serpentine Swimming Club meet for their annual Christmas Day swim and the Peter Pan Cup. The tradition began in 1864. Only members of the club are allowed to swim in the race but spectators are more than welcome and it’s quite a sight!

Sennen Cove Christmas Day Swim

Sennen Cove is a popular spot for hardy Christmas Day swimmers to take to the cold sea waters for a Christmas Day swim.

The Boxing Day swim starts at the historic Royal Albert Dock at 11.30am. It’s £5 to enter, which includes coffee and hot soup, and all the money raised is in aid of local charity Liverpool Heartbeat.
