    About

    The Coffs Coast Ocean Swims includes a fun and exciting set of open water swims for the whole family.

    The Coffs Coast Ocean Swims have been running since 1996. They are held at Coffs Harbour’s Jetty Beach on the beautiful Mid-North Coast. The swim courses are within the sheltered waters of the harbour, next to the iconic timber jetty, a reminder of the early days of coastal transport by sea and ‘timber getting’.

    For our inland friends, this is an opportunity to swim in the ocean and not battle the surf at open beaches.

    There are three swims on the day comprising a 600m swim followed by a junior 300m swim followed by a 2000m swim

    After your swim, replenish your energy and check out some of the delicious cafes in the area or go and explore the beautiful sites Coffs has to offer.

    Sawtell Surf Life Saving Club thanks all those participating for your support and wishes you well with your swim.

    The Coffs Coast Ocean Swims are held on the lands and waters of the Gumbaynggirr Aboriginal people – the Traditional Custodians of this area. Sawtell SLSC pays our respects to the Traditional Custodians and their Elders past and present.
