The Ian Lindeman Memorial Winter Solstice Swim will celebrate its 10th anniversary this weekend, with hundreds of Canberrans expected to take part in the annual nude charity swim at Lake Burley Griffin.
The event, which raises money for Lifeline Canberra, will be held at Yarralumla Beach at sunrise on June 21.
Organisers hope to raise $110,000 this year after a record $94,024 was raised in 2025 from more than 420 participants.
The swim began in 2016 when the late Ian Lindeman and a group of friends took a winter solstice dip to mark renewal and raise funds for mental health services.
