About

The Mollymook SLSC Ocean Swim is held at the beautiful Mollymook Beach on NSW’s south coast.

The event is open to swimmers of all abilities. There is a 500m swim open to everyone over the age of 10 and a 2.2km race for those aged 13 years and above. There is also a Dash for Cash, which is open for all swimmers who have competed in one of the other two events.

After the swim, there will be a fun-packed afternoon with the Mollymook surf club bar opening, food vans and live music.

Mollymook is a beautiful area to relax and explore. The beach is renowned for dolphins and even whales. Head to Ulladulla and walk the Coomee Nilunga Cultural Track and discover Indigenous art and scenic coastal views. Hire a canoe or paddleboat and float along Burrill Lake.

500m Junior and Novice Ocean Swim
Open to Juniors between the ages of 10 to 12, as well as ‘Novice’ ocean swimmers who are 13 years old and over.

The swim will start and finish at the southern end of Mollymook Beach in front of the Surf Club. The course is “U-shaped” with two buoys to be passed on the seaward side.

2.2 km Ocean Swim

Other than that, there are beautiful restaurants around the area such as GWYLO, Bannisters Pavillion, some great pubs and clubs, Mollymook Golf Club, Milton Ulladulla Exservos, the Milton Hotel and Cuppitts Winery.

If you are into jam-packing your weekend with a bit more adventure, there are many bushwalks through the Budawang mountains to the west such as Pigeon House Mountain or Mount Bushwalker.

To accommodate swimmers’ transport on the day there will be shuttle buses running from the south end of the beach, (where registrations will be in the surf club) to the north end of the beach to the start line.

There is lots of parking around the Mollymook surf club.

Post-swim Festival

After the swim, there will be a fun-packed afternoon with the Mollymook surf club bar opening, food vans and live music. Each entrant receives a food-and-drink ticket to the MSLSC BBQ and entry into the surf club and beer garden for the afternoon’s entertainment.

  • A pre-race briefing for the 2.2 km event will be conducted at the starting line at the Northern end of Mollymook Beach.
  • First Aid stations will be situated at the start and finish lines.
  • The swimmer’s physical condition is their responsibility.
  • Water Safety and Safety craft will patrol the course throughout the event. Swim protocol is to move to the side of the course and raise your hand straight above your head if you are in difficulty.

Getting to the 2.2km Start Line

  • A pre-race briefing & Safety Awareness for the 2.2km event will be conducted at the starting line at the Northern end of Mollymook Beach as scheduled in the Event Run Sheet above.
  • A pre-race briefing & Safety Awareness for the 500m event will be conducted at the starting line at the Southern end of Mollymook Beach.

  • All swimmers must wear their prescribed cap and race number.
    Any paddlers accompanying a swimmer must remain well clear of other competitors so as not to impede their progress or give unfair advantage to their swimmer.
  • Swimmers in the “Back of the Pack” division, are not eligible for podium prizes. All swimmers are to behave in a fair and sportsman like manner without interference or aggression towards other competitors and any breach of this rule may result in disqualification from the Mollymook SLSC Ocean Swim.
  • If in the opinion of the race referee, the weather or swimming conditions are dangerous or unsuitable, the Mollymook SLSC Ocean Swim may be cancelled without notice. In the unlikely event of cancellation, entry fees will not be refunded as most of the costs associated with running the event will be incurred before the event.

Event Cancellation

The race director reserves the right to cancel the event due to rough or dangerous conditions. All competitors should check the Mollymook SLSC website (www.mollymooksurf.com.au) for information at regular intervals after 4pm the day prior for confirmation of event.
