Swanage Wild Swimming Festival

The Wild Swimming Festival is an event beside the sea that features live music, swim races, seminars with experts in water safety sessions, local food and drink and iconic guided swims with open water coaches and lifeguards.

With Swanage’s limited tidal range, golden sandy beaches and an easterly outlook, Swanage Bay is renowned for it’s clear, calm & swim friendly waters. The famous Jurassic Swim Challenge is a race around the bay of a variety of distances between a 100 metre sprint and 4km.

If a racing challenge isn’t your thing, book your place for a personal challenge or join one of the small group guided swims of Swanage’s Victorian Piers, Dancing Ledge, Old Harry Rocks or a Hike and Dip at secretive Durlston Bay.

There are limited tickets available.
