The Cowes Classic at Cowes Beach, Phillip Island, VIC, is organised by Woolamai Beach Surf Lifesaving Club.

Swimmers can take part in a 500m tide-assisted swim around the pier followed by a 4km run up Thompson Ave and along the foreshore.

Be sure to enjoy the gorgeous oceanic backdrop and surrounding lush forest while you complete your swim.

The Cowes Classic is the third of three events in the Bass Summer Series.
