Coffs Coast Ocean Swims 2024
Sunday, 7th April
This event is organised by the Sawtell Surf Life Saving Club
By clicking this link for Quick Entry, you agree that you have read the event information. Entries not yet open.
The event is held at Coffs Harbour’s Jetty Beach, on the beautiful Mid North Coast. The swim courses are within the area sheltered from the open ocean by the sea wall.
The first swim is the Mike Blewitt Coffs Coast 600m swim around the iconic timber jetty, a reminder of the early days of coastal transport by sea and ‘timber getting’.
Next up is the John Mills North Coast Swim Academy 300m swim around two large yellow buoys on the north side of the jetty.
The main event is the 2km harbour swim.
Sawtell Surf Life Saving Club thanks you for your support and wishes you well with your swim.
