The Harbour Swim takes place on Sunday morning, following a three-year break due to the pandemic and the 2019 unrest. The first open group event begins at 8.15 am.

Participants will enter the water at Golden Bauhinia Square public pier in Wan Chai and swim to Avenue of the Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui.

The Chief Executive Carrie Lam and the Environment Secretary Wong Kam-sing will attend the start.

A number of special traffic arrangements have been put in place near Golden Bauhinia Square and Tsim Sha Tsui.
