Come and help Cancer Council NSW create an Ocean of Hope across Terrigal Beach on Easter Saturday with the Daffodil Dip .

The Daffodil Dip is a 400-metre fun dip in the ocean for everyone – all ages and abilities as part of the Terrigal Ocean Swim Classic.

Why the Daffodil? Well, the Daffodil is the symbol of hope, and the Daffodil Dip will have each swimmer or dipper wear a vintage yellow daffodil swim cap to create a visual ocean of hope across Terrigal Beach to raise funds and awareness for Central Coast locals impacted by cancer. In 2023, there were over 300 dippers, who came out to create a beautiful spectacle across Terrigal Beach and 2024 will be bigger. You can swim, wade or just dip into the water – this is an event for everyone.

Your entry to the Daffodil Dip is separate from that of the Terrigal Ocean Swim, and 100% of the proceeds go towards Cancer Council NSW – Central Coast, and when you register, you will also get a fundraising page to help you support Cancer Council NSW. This event is for everyone. Cancer survivors, those who have lost someone to cancer, if you know someone who has been impacted by cancer, or anyone who wants to make a difference and come together with their community.
