Congrats! You’ve made it through the Christmas celebrations and hopefully, you’ve snuck in an ocean swim here or there.
With the New Year’s holiday period just around the corner what better way to ring in 2024 than with an ocean swim. Here’s a list of ocean swims around the country during the New Year period.

Don’t worry if you are stepping up to the 1.5km for the first time because the current will help pull you along the way.
