About Pool to Pier
A community of swimmers built around Britain's first structured sea swimming programme.
"Pool to Pier was built on the idea that the sea isn't something to survive — it's something to swim."
Properly. With technique, stamina, and the knowledge to handle whatever the day throws at you.
What started as a way to bring competent pool swimmers into open water has grown into a community. The course has produced long-term friendships, beach BBQs, Christmas socials, pub trips, and a steady stream of swimmers completing Around the Pier and Pier to Pier swims year after year.
We take safety seriously. Every session is coached and qualified beach and surf lifeguards accompany our sea sessions.
