Coogee Island Challenge Ocean Swim
November 24 @ 7:30 am - 5:00 pm
The Coogee Island Challenge (spring edition) is the first ‘cut of the cake’ for swimmers looking to take on this epic island journey swim, with its autumn equivalent having been held in April.
This swim offers the perfect opportunity to circumnavigate Wedding Cake Island, a renowned rock reef just offshore from Coogee Beach in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, providing a stylish and challenging end to the ocean swimming season.
The event features three ocean swim distances: an 800m Junior Dash for our youngest competitors, a 1km course within the relative safety of the bay, and the 2.4km main event for those aged 13 years and over. Whether you’re a seasoned swimmer or new to ocean swimming, this event promises an unforgettable experience.
This November, and to coincide with National Skin Cancer Action Week, we’re proud to partner with Skin Check Champions and the Melanoma Institute Australia to provide free skin checks and promote sun safety throughout the event. Swimmers are at a sixty times greater risk of being diagnosed with melanoma compared to the average Aussie, making it essential for all of us to take sun safety seriously.
