Our 2023 COPE Galway Christmas Swim, will take place from 20-26 December. We are calling on Galwegians at home and abroad to participate in whatever way they can – swim with a group, swim where you are (at home or abroad) or join us at Blackrock Beach, Salthill on Christmas morning.
Last year, more than 700 swimmers joined the 2022 Christmas Swim and raised an incredible €41,500+ for homeless, domestic abuse and senior support services in Galway. Will you join us this year and bring hope where it is most needed?
You can register as an individual, a family or create a team and invite colleagues or friends to join in.
This year, the GoFundMe are partnering with the Christmas Swim to support COPE Galway.
Did you know that over 50% of the funds raised from the COPE Galway Christmas Swim is from people who fundraise for their swim? Fundraising is easy. You can create a fundraising page, then ask friends, family, and colleagues to sponsor your #BravetheCOLD challenge.
Your safety is of paramount importance to us. Before you participate in this event, ensure you follow all safety guidelines and public safety information.
