Celebrate the festive season with the Christmas 10K.

The Christmas 10K Swim is WA’s premier 10km Rottnest qualifying swim and a part of the WOW Swim Series – enjoyed by more than double the number of swimmers of any other 10km race in WA because of its unique approach of “swimmers first” and a focus on creating an event “by swimmers for swimmers”.

The 10km swimmers are offered a long 3.4km circuit and this event is the only one in WA where swimmers can be accompanied by their own personal support paddlers for the full 10km of the race – the best possible preparation and practice for a Rottnest swim crossing!

If you’re not up for a 10km swim, don’t stress there’s a distance for everyone with the event also offering two shorter distances to challenge community swimmers of all abilities:

• Port Coogee Santa’s Lap (3.4km)
• City of Cockburn Merry Mile (1.6km)

This year there is a contingency date on Sunday 22 December which will only be activated if the weather forecast is unfavourable and a decision is made that it is unsafe to go ahead with the event on Saturday 21 December.

WOW Swim Series

The WOW Swim Series is a community swim series for all and offers a range of distances to suit everybody. WOW, open water swims are designed for swimmers of all ages and abilities to be able to experience the thrill of open water swimming in a range of settings. WOW likes to encourage participation in the community-hosted events as not a competition but rather part of a healthy lifestyle.
