About

The Bondi to Bronte Ocean Swim has become one of the classics on the Sydney Ocean Swim calendar.

This iconic journey swim runs between the two oldest Surf Life Saving clubs in the world.

The course starts in front of the Bondi Pavilion, runs out from Bondi, around Mackenzie’s Point and down the coast into Bronte Beach, a distance of 2.1 – 2.4km (depending on the positioning of the buoy off McKenzie’s point).

Starting and finishing at two different beaches is one of the unique aspects of this journey swim. It gives all participants a sense of incredible personal achievement.

For those new to ocean swimming there is also a 1km option within Bondi Bay, it’s also a great warm-up swim for the main event!

Sub-Events

500m & 1km Ocean Swim

Junior Ocean Swim

What’s not to love about a junior ocean swim! The perfect first time ocean swim challenge and an ideal stepping stone to the longer B2B course for the kids once they turn 13. Both the Mini and Maxi course start and finish in the same location, so all swimmers can have their family and friends nearby to cheer them on and celebrate with them at the finish.

9 - 13 Years Old

1km Ocean Swim

Bondi Bay Swim

A lap around the bay of Bondi Beach. Great for a first-time ocean swim participant, a good fast hard hit out for those keen to push themselves, or equally fun as a warm-up for the main event.

13 Years Old

2.4km Ocean Swim

Bondi To Bronte

A point-to-point swim leaving the beach at Bondi, out through the break and then turning south to follow the coast past Tamarama Beach and in through the break at Bronte Beach. Be sure to look out for the big pink banner on the headland as you swim towards Bronte.

5km Ocean Swim

Bondi To Bronte To Bondi

5km Bondi-to-Bronte-to-Bondi swim – An epic coastal swim commencing at Bondi Beach, initially heading north to a turning buoy at Ben Buckler where you then head down the coast to Bronte past the famed Bronte Reef before turning and heading back up the coast to the sand at Bondi.
