Bournemouth Pier to Pier Swim

We’re back for our 30th anniversary! Take part on Saturday or Sunday and swim 1.4 miles between Bournemouth and Boscombe Piers in one of Europe’s biggest charity swimming events.

Your willpower has never been more important to support the lives of those living with heart and circulatory diseases.

Join thousands of other supporters at the 30th anniversary of the BHF Bournemouth Pier to Pier Swim as you brave the English channel in this incredible 1.4 mile open water challenge.

Starting from Bournemouth Pier, put your front stroke to the test in this challenging sea swim along the coastline to Boscombe Pier.

You’ll need to pay a £30 sign up fee (£10 for ages 14 – 17) and pledge to raise at least £250 (exc. gift aid).

To support social distancing at the event, start waves have been introduced so we can safely guide people through the start line. You’ll be able to choose your start time as part of the registration process.

The event organisers have added plenty of new measures to promote the safety of the event weekend and to ensure it is aligned to all of the latest UK Government guidance relating to Covid-19. All the details are listed on the Covid-19 tab on the webpage: www.bhf.org.uk/p2p
