Why this event?

Swim the Sandline at Carlton Park - Tassie’s most relaxed 1200m adventure.

The CP1200 is one of those swims that captures everything we love about Tasmanian ocean swimming… relaxed vibes, wide-open coastline, and a community that absolutely froths on salty summer mornings. As race two of both the Tasmanian Ocean Swim Series and the Triple Trident, it’s a day buzzing with energy but without the pressure, just swimmers of all levels sharing the beach and the adventure.

Whether you’re chasing series points, dipping your toes into your first ocean swim, or returning to this favourite year after year, the CP1200 is designed to make you feel part of the bigger Tassie swim community. It’s friendly, welcoming, and built around enjoyment first.

And the fun doesn’t stop when you hit the finish chute. This year, the crew are adding a 500 m handicap swim after the main event. It’s enter-on-the-day, light-hearted, and the perfect excuse to stay salty a little longer.

There’s also a dedicated 500 m novice and junior swim, giving newcomers and younger swimmers their own moment to shine in a safe and supportive setting. No matter your pace or experience, there’s a swim here with your name on it.
