Feeling brave enough to take a dip in the icy waters of Porthcawl this Christmas? Why not join the Porthcawl Christmas morning swim 2023 and raise money for a great cause at the same time? Take the plunge on Christmas Day to help raise money for Family Fund.
The Christmas Swim is a fun and festive, non-competitive event. It’s a tradition that has been going on for over 40 years, and attracts hundreds of swimmers and spectators every year.
But it’s not just about having a laugh and getting a bit chilly. The Christmas morning swim is also a way for you to support families across the UK who are raising a seriously ill or disabled child. Taking part means you are enabling us provide even more support that can ease daily pressures and improve the quality of life of our families.
