The Macquarie Bondi to Bronte offers participants aged 13+ three different swim options, and if you’re super keen you can combine either the 1km or 5km with the main event of the Bondi to Bronte swim:

1km 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.

2.1-2.4km Bondi to Bronte Swim – 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 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.
