If you’ve ever wanted to experience the magic of a winter solstice ocean dip, this is your chance. The Penguin Winter Solstice Splash is less about how far you swim and more about sharing an unforgettable moment with hundreds of others as you brave the icy waters of Bass Strait together.

Held each year at beautiful Preservation Bay Beach, this much-loved community event raises vital funds for Loaves & Fishes Tasmania, helping provide food relief, employment pathways and practical support for Tasmanians doing it tough. Every splash helps make a genuine difference.

Whether you’re planning a quick ankle-deep wade, a full-body plunge or simply coming along to cheer on family and friends, everyone is welcome. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming and full of laughter, despite the chilly water.

Once you’ve conquered the cold, you’ll leave with a huge smile, plenty of stories to tell and the satisfaction of knowing your bravery has helped support an important local cause.
