Tots a l'aigua 2026

عن السباق

Kick off your New Year with a truly invigorating tradition in the heart of the Costa Brava. 'Tots a l'aigua' (Everyone into the Water) is more than just a swim; it is a beloved annual ritual that has defined the start of the year in Sant Feliu de Guíxols for over a quarter of a century. Now reaching its 26th edition, this historic event transforms the iconic Platja Gran into a vibrant gathering point for locals and visitors alike, all united by the shared goal of taking that first, bracing dip into the Mediterranean on January 1st.

Organized by the dedicated teams at the Aquàtic Club Xaloc and the Centre Excursionista Montclar, the event captures the authentic spirit of Catalan coastal life. It is an inclusive, community-focused gathering where the focus is on camaraderie rather than competition. Whether you are a seasoned cold-water swimmer or someone looking to embrace a bold new resolution, the atmosphere is electric and welcoming. The event is deeply rooted in local tradition, and the post-swim reward of hot broth and chocolate is a legendary highlight that brings everyone together to warm up and celebrate the start of the year.

Sant Feliu de Guíxols itself is a picturesque jewel of the Costa Brava, offering a stunning backdrop of rugged cliffs, hidden coves, and golden beaches that make it a perfect destination for any water enthusiast. Beyond the thrill of the icy plunge, the town invites you to slow down and soak in the Mediterranean atmosphere. After the swim, you will find plenty of reasons to extend your stay and {{link:experiences|explore the surroundings}}, from wandering the charming historic streets to discovering the natural beauty of the nearby marine landscapes.
