Why this event?

Swim in between the tranquil and warm waters of the stunning Bay of Islands

Nestled in the stunning Bay of Islands, New Zealand’s first capital Russell will play host to this summer’s Beach to Bay Swim.

The tranquil and warm waters of the Far North play host to the most scenic harbour crossings on the yearly swim calendar.

Consisting of five different swim events, the Beach to Bay Swim provides an ocean swim event for all ages and abilities.

This event has been bought back by popular demand and is a great way to view the beautiful scenery and mix up your day.
