Co-hosts dMFK and Elliott Wood are delighted to announce the return of SwiMIPIM for 2026!

Taking place in Cannes during the global real estate conference MIPIM, this open-water swim offers a refreshingly different way to connect with industry peers while raising vital funds for Streets of London, a charity supporting people experiencing homelessness across the capital.

Now in its fifth year, SwiMIPIM is a social, non-competitive event – confident, slow swimmers are very welcome. All participants will be supported by experienced lifeguards in kayaks throughout the swim.

Key details:

* Date: Morning of Wednesday 11 March 2026

* Location: London Stand at MIPIM, La Croisette Beach, Cannes

* Distance options: 1km or 2km

* Fundraising requirement: Participants are asked to fundraise or donate a minimum of £250 via a JustGiving page (click ‘Start fundraising’ to create your page). If your fundraising total does not reach £250, we kindly ask that you top up the difference with a personal donation. A reduced minimum of £125 applies for students.

Not swimming? You can still make a difference. Donations of any size are hugely appreciated.
