    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:

    • $1,000 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.
