New Year’s Dive in Zandvoort – 1 january

New Year’s Dive in Zandvoort 

The New Year’s Dive in Zandvoort is a fun way to start the new year. Rinse off the old year and ring in the new year with a refreshing dip in the North Sea. There is an extensive music program. Everything started in Zandvoort. We dive into the sea here on New Year’s Day as early as 1960. It is such a nice tradition that it was soon followed by other municipalities on the coast or on a lake.

Everyone is allowed to participate and the Zandvoort rescue brigade keeps an eye on things. The event will be held at Beachclub 10. Registration is free and can be done on the day itself or via the website http://nieuwjaars duikzandvoort.nl/. All participants receive an orange hat from a well-known soup brand. Afterwards you will receive a warm cup of pea soup and a certificate.

Before the dive there is a warm-up to swinging music. Then the countdown starts and hundreds of men, women, old and young run towards the sea. After a short swim, most participants quickly run back to their towel and clothes. A few sports enthusiasts stay a little longer. There are no showers available. So be sure to bring comfortable clothing, such as a jogging suit, a nice thick sweater and a thick towel.

For some, the New Year’s Dive in Zandvoort is an annual tradition. It attracts thousands of visitors. Over the years, the New Year’s Dive in Zandvoort has become a popular tradition for both locals and tourists.
