Weymouth Christmas Day Swim
A much-loved local tradition, the Weymouth Christmas Day Swim sees thousands of brave swimmers dash into the chilly waters of Weymouth Bay on Christmas morning. Crowds gather along the beach to cheer them on, creating a fantastic festive atmosphere. Many swimmers take part in fancy dress, and the event raises funds for local charities, making it a heart-warming way to start the day.
