1km, 2km & 4km
If you’re looking for an ocean swim that feels more like a beachside celebration than a race, the Moreton Bay Swim ticks every box. Set on the calm, protected waters of Suttons Beach in Redcliffe, this Queensland favourite blends salty swimming with a relaxed, family-friendly festival vibe.
From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this swim is about community. Tents pop up along the foreshore, kids run barefoot across the grass, and spectators line the sand ready to cheer. Whether you’re tackling the 4km, stepping up to the 2km, or dipping your toes into ocean swimming with the 1km, you’ll be surrounded by supportive swimmers of all ages and abilities.
It’s the kind of event where first-timers feel genuinely welcome and seasoned swimmers come back year after year for the atmosphere alone. Add in food trucks, music, local stalls, and plenty to keep the kids entertained, and you’ve got a swim day that stretches well beyond the finish line.
Come for the swim, stay for the sunshine, and enjoy a morning that’s as much about smiles and shared moments as it is about strokes.
This 1km swim is a well-marked loop set in calm, protected water, perfect for first-timers or those looking to ease into the open water season. Starting and finishing on the beach, swimmers head out along a clearly buoyed course before looping back to shore. With smooth conditions and easy sighting, it’s a great swim for building confidence and enjoying the water without pressure.
The 2km swim follows a double-loop format set in sheltered bay waters, starting and finishing on the beach. Swimmers head out along a marked course, rounding buoys before looping back to the start for a second lap. With gentle conditions and coastal scenery all the way, it’s ideal for intermediate swimmers looking to stretch out while still enjoying a relaxed, accessible ocean swim.
The 4km course features four laps of a calm, well-marked circuit in the sheltered waters off Suttons Beach. Starting and finishing on the sand, swimmers will complete multiple loops along the same stretch, allowing for easy sighting and consistent pacing. This one’s for those chasing distance, endurance, and a satisfying ocean challenge, perfect for confident swimmers wanting to go the distance in a supportive, scenic setting.
