It’s short, it’s sharp, and it’s packed with community spirit.

The Spring Bay Winter Solstice Swim is more than just a dip, it’s a joyful, shared moment of connection and courage. Held at the scenic Raspins Beach on Tassie’s stunning east coast, the 100m splash is symbolic, inclusive, and designed to bring people together in support of mental health awareness and suicide prevention.

There’s no timing, no pressure, just the collective buzz of taking the plunge together as the sun rises on the shortest day of the year. Costumes are encouraged (the quirkier the better), laughter is guaranteed, and the post-swim soup seals the deal, warming hands and hearts alike.

Whether you’re diving in for a cause, in memory of someone, or simply to say “I did it,” this event is all about community strength, shared purpose, and the power of cold water and connection. It’s a little wild, a little weird, and wonderfully life-affirming.
