About

The Danger Ocean Swim Series is one of the largest open-water swims in Australia offering a distance for all ocean swimming abilities.

Held inside Point Danger (a.k.a. Cosy Corner) on Torquay Front Beach the event offers four distances; 500m (Danger 500), 1km (Danger 1000), 2.5km (More Dangerous) and 5km (Even More Dangerous). 

The event has been the major fundraising event for the Jan Juc Surf Lifesaving Club since 1999 growing from only a few participants to one of the largest events on the ocean swims calendar. 

After enjoying a morning at one of Australia’s favourite open-water swims, don’t forget to explore the beautiful town of Torquay.
