The launch of the 2023 Saundersfoot New Year’s Day Swim took place at the St. Brides Spa Hotel on Friday, November 4. During the event, the 2023 shirt was also unveiled and Charlie Shivers was there to welcome this year’s sponsors.

The 2023 swim will be the village’s 37th and over recent years the swim has gone from strength to strength, raising thousands and thousands of pounds for charitable and worthy causes. The 2023 event is eagerly awaited following the Covid-enforced cancellation of the last two swims. The last swim was in 2020 which attracted over 2000 swimmers, generating over £48,000.

NYDS would like to thank the St Brides Hotel & Spa for the generous hospitality in holding the launch event.
