About

Join thousands of other swimmers supporting the fight against heart disease by taking on this unforgettable open water swimming challenge.  Your entry fee covers the cost of organising the event, but it's the money you raise that powers our life saving research, so we ask our heart swimmer to set themselves a target of at least £150.

As a special incentive, for those of you who raise at least £150 (excluding gift aid) in sponsorship by the event day, you'll be classed as a star swimmer and will be rewarded with a special swim hat that you can wear with pride during the event.

Please be aware that your swim packs will be sent out no sooner than four weeks prior to the event.

You must be at least 14 years old to take part in Bournemouth Pier to Pier Swim. Under 18's must be accompanied by an adult at all times, and anyone under 18 will need to complete a digital entry form and send it back to us.
