Brave wwimmers gear up for Southwold Christmas Day Dip. 
Fancy swapping your Christmas slippers for a festive dip in the sea?

Blyth Valley Rotary is delighted to announce the return of the Southwold Christmas Day Swim 2026, a fantastic festive tradition filled with fun, laughter, community spirit, and, of course, a little Christmas craziness!

Join us on Christmas morning, Friday 25th December, on Gun Hill Beach, Southwold, next to the Gun Hill Beach Kiosk IP18 6HF. Whether you’re brave enough to take the plunge or prefer to wrap up warm and cheer from the sidelines, everyone is welcome!

Every splash helps make a difference! All profits and donations raised from the event will support three wonderful organisations:

- RNLI – helping save lives at sea.
