New Year’s Day Swim 2025

Do you enjoy open water swimming? Want to start 2025 with a splash?

We have teamed up with Uswim who are running their long established (13 years and counting!) New Year’s Day swim on Wednesday 1st January 2025 at  Dock 9, MediaCityUK, Salford Quays.

Celebrate the start of a new year with family, friends and fellow cold water lovers! The invigorating water temperature will be 7c! The uber-friendly crowd and iconic Lowry Theatre backdrop guarantees top pics and crazy fun.

Will you be brave and bold and withstand the cold to take part in this year’s NYD’25 swim and get sponsored for St Ann’s Hospice?

Once you’ve signed up with Uswim you can set up your JustGiving fundraising page to support St Ann’s here.

If you have any questions about the event, please get in touch by emailing events@sah.org.uk or calling us on 0161 498 3631.

Don’t worry we won’t leave you out in the cold – our friendly events team will be on hand to help you all the way!

Swim Courses

There’ll be a 250m towfloat-compulsory course for competent swimmers who are then able to swim for as long as they safely want.

There is also a 100m non-towfloat course for dippers/swimmers who still want the buzz of a deliciously cold open water swim. Towfloats are still recommended though.
