A New Year’s Day Swim has been organised at Saundersfoot since 1984 by Saundersfoot Festivities. We have so far raised in excess of £175,000 for charity and the 2007 swim raised over £25,000; find out where the money went and more on the 2007 Presentation page.

We now have Saundersfoot NYDS polo shirts available for sale. For information - and to see where the shirts have been around the globe, click here.

The swim starts at 11:30am and attracts hundreds of swimmers and thousands of spectators. Many wear fancy dress and all swimmers are presented with a medal. Teams of at least four swimmers receive a framed Blue Tit Award and all swimmers raising at least £100 are awarded a certificate. Four swimmers have yet to miss a swim: Chris Williams, Mick Hamilton, John Joseph and Gethin Evans.

In 2005 the BBC came to film the Swim, and Rachel Treadaway-Williams made a piece for television - watch it here!

If you are holidaying in the Saundersfoot area over the New Year, why not join the swim? Your sponsor form could be used to raise money for any charity of your choice. Your nominated charity would receive every single penny of your sponsor money together with a contribution from the bucket collection.
