There are ocean swims, and then there’s the Pier to Perignon. This isn’t just a swim, it’s an experience. A postcard-perfect 4km point-to-point journey through the calm, aquamarine waters of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, the P2P links the iconic piers of Sorrento and Portsea, bringing together swimmers from all walks of life with every salty, sun-soaked stroke.

Named cheekily after the champagne you’ll feel like cracking once you finish, the “P2P” has earned its place as one of Australia’s most beloved and well-attended ocean swims. It’s scenic, social, and slightly cheeky, just like ocean swimming should be.

The course winds its way along the curve of the coast, with crystal-clear visibility, stunning views, and often a gentle push from the current. You’ll swim past moored boats, beachgoers, and cheering crowds lining the sand, all adding to the electric atmosphere. Whether it’s your first time or your tenth, there’s something about this swim that keeps you coming back.

Expect a festive crowd, plenty of pre- and post-swim banter, and that unmistakable P2P energy that kicks off the moment you hit the beach at Sorrento. With hundreds of swimmers, a strong community vibe, and a finish line that feels more like a celebration than a race end, this event has serious bucket-list status.

And the best part? The fun doesn’t stop when you leave the water. Stick around for a beachside brunch, toast your achievement with friends (sparkling optional but encouraged), and soak up the lively Portsea foreshore atmosphere.

Whether you’re chasing a personal best, a new adventure, or just a day out with your ocean swim crew, Pier to Perignon is everything you want from an ocean swim, and then some.
