Young People
Any 7-15yr olds should be experienced in cold water and this SHOULD NOT BE their first time swimming. We've seen too many kids tears over the years! Maybe try them at one of the Polar Swims first?
Complimentary hot drinks & cakes will be available on the day for swimmers.
Wetsuit Hire (all sizes); Available on day. No need to prebook. £10 CASH + £20 CASH deposit
Best dressed hat Competition; Get creative and flaunt your most outrageous hats. In 2025 Belinda starred with her 'Chocolate Machine' creation. Delicious :).
Be Safe; Juniors (7-15yrs) MUST have an adult (16+) in the water with them. Towfloats are highly recommended although not compulsory except on 250m course.
Public Toilets; Will be available in Quayside Mall from 10.00am.
Further Info; Any info will be updated on this page and will also emailed out in the week prior to the swim.
