The Porthcawl Christmas Morning Swim is a much-loved annual charity event held at Sandy Bay on Christmas Day. Since 1965, it has brought thousands of people together for a festive dip while raising vital funds for local charities and community organisations. Swimmers of all ages take part in colourful costumes, supported by generous spectators, volunteers, sponsors and local businesses. Every registration, donation and fundraising effort helps worthwhile causes make a positive difference in Porthcawl and the surrounding community. More than a swim, it is a joyful celebration of community spirit, generosity and Christmas tradition.
