Aboutthe swim

The Beachside Radiology “Coffs Ocean Swims” is a picturesque race, in a picturesque Australian town.

It is well known that swimming is extremely popular in Australia and there are no shortage of amazing, iconic races in the major Australian cities like Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. However, there are also many great swims outside of the big cities… and this is one of them.

Located about 540 km north of Sydney, and about 390 km south of Brisbane, Coffs Harbour is beautiful coastal town of about 70,000 people. There is a reason that the town’s name incorporates it’s harbour, it is because it is such a unique and incredible feature. And all the races take place in this amazing harbour.

Because the harbour is such a great place to swim, it attracts swimmers of all ages and abilities. The race directors make a special point of making the event very family friendly by including several short distance races for the kids and a more competitive 600m swim around the jetty and a 2 km swim across the harbour as the main event. Started in 1998, and now over 20 years old, the Coffs Ocean Swims brings in over 700 participants each year, which gives proof to how much fun the races are. All profits from the event are distributed to local charities and sporting clubs.
