The Melbourne Open Water Cup at Williamstown has marked the start of the open water season for Victorian swimmers for years and this year is no different.

There are four distances on offer; an 800m, 1.6km, 2.4km and 3.2km open water swim

There is a BYO/DIY feeding station (kayak) in the water. You can bring a labelled mesh bag with drink and nutrition for a mid-race feed stop if you need.

Everything about this event is designed toward catering for entry-level as well as experienced open water swimmers – and in the no-boating zone.
