A 10km ocean swim that hugs Sydney’s northern beaches, linking two iconic swim spots, Narrabeen and Shelly. This is a marathon with meaning, and it’s fast becoming one of the most rewarding challenges on the Aussie swim calendar.
Perfect for experienced swimmers chasing a true long-distance adventure, this point-to-point course isn’t just about distance; it’s about discovery. You’ll pass dramatic headlands, surf breaks, and secluded coves, all with a support paddler by your side and the wild Pacific rolling underneath. From the golden sands of Narrabeen to the clear blue calm of Shelly Beach, the terrain is stunning and the swim, unforgettable.
Expect a mix of conditions, from rolling swell to smooth stretches, and the chance to see marine life as you push through each stroke. It’s a test of fitness, ocean awareness, and mental strength, but also a celebration of what’s possible when preparation meets purpose.
Whether you’re chasing a bucket-list finish, training for an even bigger goal, or simply craving that deep sense of achievement only a long ocean swim can bring, this one’s worth every salty kilometre.
