Mooloolaba Mile (1.6km)
The main event!

The Mooloolaba Mile (1.6km) was first held in 2010 and is one of the most popular open water distances around the globe for a reason – it’s well within reach for beginners and a great time trial for experienced swimmers.

Your course is one full lap of the triangle course, starting and finishing in the sheltered waters of Mooloolaba Spit.

For our elites, it’s a sprint. For most, it’s an ideal goal that you can knock over with limited training under your belt.

Mooloolaba Half Mile (800m)
This might just be our favourite event!

From our Junior Giants testing themselves in the open water, to groups of friends battling it out for bragging rights, the Mooloolaba Half Mile (800m) can be achieved with limited training and is loads of fun.

The Junior Giants event is a great opportunity for kids aged 10 – 15 years to compete with other swimmers their own age.

Mooloolaba 3.0
The Mooloolaba 3.0 is a popular distance and a great step up from shorter swims.

This long course swim involves two laps of our new triangle course, starting and finishing in the sheltered waters of Mooloolaba Spit.

Mooloolaba 4.5
One of the new additions for 2024, the Mooloolaba 4.5 is a stepping stone event. Step up and make this your end goal for the 2024 Summer, or use it to prepare for marathon swims that lie ahead.

This long course swim involves three laps of our new triangle course, starting and finishing in the sheltered waters of Mooloolaba Spit.

Mooloolaba 6.0
This is the big one and another new addition for 2024 – a 6.0km marathon distance swim.

It’s a distance that we know will be popular, as many of you have now conquered 5.0km and are setting your sights on 10km. This is an opportunity to push beyond 5.0km in a safe, sheltered setting where you can check your progress with every lap – no paddlers or support boats needed!

The Mooloolaba 6.0 will be contested by aspiring marathon swimmers and some of Australia’s most talented pool and open water swimmers.
