West Wight Sports & Community Centre

Community spirit, triumph over adversity and sheer determination.

The Solent Swim is a fundraising event for the West Wight Sports & Community Centre Trust (registered charity number 273334).

During the year, Solent Swim is the main fundraising event for the Centre. WWSCC is more than just a swimming pool – it is a community hub, providing a range of facilities and services focusing on health, fitness, personal growth and development and supporting both physical and mental health and well-being. As a charity, we rely on ad hoc grants and fundraising events such as the Solent Swim to support our work and ensure the Centre can continue to operate.

The 2026 West Wight Solent Swim has been scheduled for Saturday July 25th with a back up of Sunday July 26th.

We are delighted to announce our team for 2026. Good luck to all our 80 swimmers this year. Please sign up to the dedicated Solent Swim 2026 Facebook page and keep an eye on your emails for updates. We look forward to seeing you in the pool and sea!

Don’t forget to purchase your branded swim tow buoy which is compulsory for all swimmers this year. We strongly advise also using it whilst training in the sea. Get yours from us while stocks last!
