In August 2021, OceanFit acquired the website and business of oceanswims.com.

oceanswims.com is an institution in Australia for ocean swimming, and, up until we took the reins, it was primarily focused on ocean swim events.
Our vision for oceanswims.com is for it to become the home for the entire community of ocean swimmers, whether you simply enjoy a morning dip at your local beach, or you’re going for gold in an ocean swim event.
Because it didn’t make sense to have a swim directory on both OceanFit and oceanswims.com, we’ve transferred the Swim Scout directory and its listings from oceanfit.com.au to oceanswims.com. OceanFit’s website will focus on its leading ocean swimming training and swimming holidays.
Transfer of listings
- We have conducted a direct transfer of listings from oceanfit.com.au to oceanswims.com
- A URL redirect has also been put in place, so that if someone trys to visit the old URL on oceanfit.com.au it will redirect to the new URL on oceanswims.com
- The content of listings will be the same (as at the time of transfer), however, if you find your listing is missing information, it is likely that your changes happened during the transfer and these changes will no longer be available. You will need to re-update your listing. We apologise for the inconvenience.
User data
- Some user data has been deleted in the process of transferring listings
- Passwords will need to be reset by using the Forgot password? function on the login page
- Previous Swim Buddy conversations will not be available
- If you’re having trouble signing in to your account and gaining access to your listing, please get in touch with us.
Overview of listing transfers
Ocean swimming groups
Many social ocean swimming groups are listed on our directory, you can now find the directory here.
Swim Buddies
Our Swim Buddies directory can be found here.
In a recent survey of current users of Swim Buddies, the feedback was extremely positive. However, the biggest piece of feedback was that there simply weren’t enough people on it!
We hope that moving the Swim Buddies directory to oceanswims.com will help grow the awareness of this awesome feature and allow more people to meet up and swim together.
