Come join the fun and a chance to swim around one of the UK's most iconic coastal landmarks, Brighton Palace Pier on Saturday 4 July 2026.

A swim around the pier is the perfect way to start your weekend in the vibrant city of Brighton & Hove. Our relaxed event is the perfect blend of a challenge and a lot of fun as you sart on the east side of the pier, swim round the end of the pier and finish on the West side.

Once again water safety will be supplied by the Brighton Surf Life Saving Club who will expertly mange the swimmers around the pier.

We are very pleased to announce that we will be supporting the CoppaFeel charity for the Brighton Pier Open Water Swim this year.
