- **Event Name**: Agatha Christie Sea Swim Weekend 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Sun, 12 Jul, 2026 at 06:00 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: 🏊‍♀️ Agatha Christie Sea Swim – 2026 Update!

Hello lovely swimmers! We are delighted to announce that the Agatha Christie Sea Swim will be returning with a brand-new format over the weekend of Saturday 11 &amp; Sunday 12 July.

We’ve moved the swim to the summer this year for a few practical reasons – including better availability of safety support, avoiding clashes with other maritime events, and the capacity of our team (who are all volunteers).

We’re also excited to announce that both routes will now take place in one weekend, giving swimmers the option to complete one route – or for the truly adventurous – the double!

📍 Saturday 11 July | 3pm–5pm (High tide 3.54pm)
Broadsands → Goodrington South

📍 Sunday 12 July | 3pm–5pm (High tide 5.04pm)
Beacon Cove → Meadfoot Beach

We’re also planning a social event on Saturday evening, so why not make a weekend of it? 🎉

💷 Entry fees
• £35 – Single swim
• £60 – Double swim

Your entry includes a branded swim hat, full safety support, and an exclusive finisher’s gift.

As always, all profits go to charity:

❤️ Rowcroft Hospice
📚 The Agatha Christie Festival charity, which funds free creative literacy activities for local school children.
Thanks to your incredible support, the swim raised more than £6,000 for charity in 2025.

🎟 Entries will open on Wednesday 1 April.

Ahead of this, swimmers who registered last year (when sea conditions meant we couldn’t run the full route) will receive a 48-hour priority booking window from Monday 30 March. They will be emailed with a special link. As promised, they’ll also be able to take advantage of a £10 discount, or donate that amount to the charities.

⚠️ Please note:

The Agatha Christie Sea Swim is not a race, but a relaxed “sightseeing swim”. However, each route is around one mile in open water, which can involve challenging conditions. Participation is therefore limited to confident open-water swimmers who have trained and prepared appropriately.

🌊 Important:

If the swim has to be cancelled due to adverse weather or pollution alerts, we will unfortunately be unable to offer refunds. Swimmers will still receive their hats and gifts, with all remaining funds donated to the charities. If possible, we will also organise a fun alternative activity.

More details and booking information coming very soon!
