Why this event?

Your chance to be part of the iconic ‘Aussies’ surf carnival.

Ever watched the Aussies on TV and thought, “That could be me”? Now’s your chance to be part of the action. The Aussies Ocean Swim is your golden ticket to dive into the heart of Surf Life Saving Australia’s biggest and most iconic week, no club cap or competition history required.

Held at North Kirra Beach during the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships (aka “The Aussies”), this event is open to all ocean lovers—from first-timers to seasoned surf swimmers. Whether you’re there to race, cruise, or simply experience the atmosphere, you’ll be surrounded by the electric buzz of carnival tents, beach flags, and surfboats thundering through the waves.

Expect a professionally run, high-energy swim with a classic surf club vibe, excellent water safety, and a course set right in the thick of the nation’s top surf sports event. You might even be sharing the lineup with current or former champions. It’s a rare chance to rub shoulders (and splash water) with the best, all while soaking up the sunshine on one of the Gold Coast’s most beautiful beaches.

Whether you’re chasing a new challenge or ticking off a bucket-list swim, the Aussies Ocean Swim is your invite to be part of something legendary. It’s fun, fast, festive, and oh-so Aussie.

What's on offer

2km Ocean Swim
  • 12 years
Set against the buzzing backdrop of The Aussies at North Kirra Beach, this is your moment to shine. From the sand start, you’ll launch into a clockwise rectangular course designed to challenge and inspire. Swim 250 metres straight out to sea before turning right for a 750m stretch along the ocean side of the cans. After a short 50m turn toward the beach, you’ll swing right again for a second 750m leg, this time parallel to the shoreline. One final left turn brings you home for the 200m dash back to the sand, where the cheers of the crowd will be waiting. It’s the full surf sports experience, open to all, with a course that’ll leave you salty, smiling, and proud.
