1000 Sea Swimmers Wanted To Celebrate International Women’s Day

In 2025, we will be running our third annual sea swimming event; we plan to run a dual location sea swim to ensure that you are part of the UK’s biggest sea swimming event to celebrate International Women’s Day and champion women across the UK.

In 2023, we had 250 swimmers; in 2024, we had 500 swimmers; and in 2025, we are aiming for 1000 swimmers to unite on Saturday, 8th March 2025, in East Sussex, Brighton and Dorset, Poole.

The Big Swim launches on January 20th, 2025

This event is hosted by PinkNicky and Land and Wave.

The aim of the event:

To celebrate IWD 2025 and to gather 1000 of the South Coast’s Sea Swimmers in two places at one time for two huge photos
Unite us all through our love of the sea and show our support for women worldwide.
Create a noisy, colourful spectacle on the beach
To support #IWD2025 and amplify the message #AccelerateAction.
