About

The Agatha Christie Sea Swim will be returning with a brand-new format over the weekend of Saturday 11 & Sunday 12 July.

We’ve moved the swim to the summer this year for a few practical reasons – including better availability of safety support, avoiding clashes with other maritime events, and the capacity of our team (who are all volunteers).

We’re also excited to announce that both routes will now take place in one weekend, giving swimmers the option to complete one route – or for the truly adventurous – the double!

📍 Saturday 11 July | 3pm–5pm (High tide 3.54pm)
Broadsands → Goodrington South

📍 Sunday 12 July | 3pm–5pm (High tide 5.04pm)
Beacon Cove → Meadfoot Beach

We’re also planning a social event on Saturday evening, so why not make a weekend of it? 🎉

💷 Entry fees
• £35 – Single swim
• £60 – Double swim

Your entry includes a branded swim hat, full safety support, and an exclusive finisher’s gift.

As always, all profits go to charity:

❤️ Rowcroft Hospice
📚 The Agatha Christie Festival charity, which funds free creative literacy activities for local school children.
Thanks to your incredible support, the swim raised more than £6,000 for charity in 2025.
