Mid-Winter Swim 2026

It’s back, it’s chilly, and it’s for a great cause! 

Thanks to Whakatāne Hunting & Fishing, the 1XX Mid-Winter Swim is happening June 28th at Mahy Reserve in Ōhope, driving donations for the Whakatāne Surf Lifesaving Club!

Arrive at the beach by 11AM, and participate in the coolest swim of Winter! It’s a gold coin donation, and there will be prizes for best dressed & more! All money raised will be directly given to the Whakatāne Surf Lifesaving Club.

Bean There Dan That will be there with his coffee cart and generously donating $1 from every drink sold to the Whakatāne Surf Lifesaving Club! ...Oh yeah, and can't forget the sausage sizzle too!

Support our local lifesavers, and take the plunge with the 1XX Mid-Winter Swim June 28th, brought to you by Whakatāne Hunting & Fishing and Radio 1XX.
