About

Stretch out the season with the annual South Maroubra Ocean Swim in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

South Maroubra surf club hosts one of the final Sydney swims of the season, with all entry fees contributing to the purchase of vital lifesaving equipment required by their volunteer lifesavers.

This year’s event features three race courses: 500m, 1km, and 2.5 km. Each course commences and ends at the south end of the beach.

The first event of the day is the 500m swim for ages 8 and above, followed by the 1km and 2.5km swims open for ages 12 and above.

Rare cash prizes are on offer!

Cash Prizes are on offer for the fastest male & female in each of the races:

  • $500 for the 2.5km
  • $250 for the 1km
  • $50 for the 500m (only 8-14 year-olds can claim).

Plus, prizes from Switch, Recoverie, Look, Delfina, Budgy Smuggler and Engine for 1st, 2nd and 3rd for all ages.

While the 500m event is open to all participants, prizes will only be provided to children aged 8 – 14 years of age.

500m Ocean Swim
The perfect 500m course is set for beginners and speedsters alike, with the minimum age set at 9 year old. This is a great distance for those taking on their very first ocean swim.

1km Ocean Swim
Swimmers will tackle a rectangular course heading out from the south end of the beach, then a short swim north before turning back towards the surf club. Maroubra Beach is an open beach with sifting banks, gutters and the occasional rip as with any beach, all making for an exciting swim for all abilities.

2km Ocean Swim
This course heads along the Malabar Headland before the marker to turn north. The next turn is in line with Maroubra SLSC, where swimmers traverse back towards South Maroubra before a final marker and heading to shore. Maroubra Beach is an open beach with sifting banks, gutters and the occasional rip as with any beach, all making for an exciting swim for all abilities.
