Why this event?

Dive into turquoise at WA’s favourite metro swim

Part of the Swimming WA Open Water Series, the Sorrento Ocean Swim is your chance to dive into the dreamy turquoise waters just off Perth’s northern beaches. Hosted by the powerhouse Sorrento Surf Life Saving Club, this event combines top-tier organisation with laid-back coastal energy, making it a favourite for swimmers of all levels.

Set against the white sands and crystal-clear shallows of Sorrento Beach, this event is known for its safe conditions, friendly atmosphere, and smooth logistics. Whether you’re a first-timer easing into ocean swimming or a seasoned swimmer looking to test your fitness, you’ll find a distance that suits, from short, beginner-friendly options to longer courses that push your limits.

It’s the perfect swim to kick off your season, set a new personal challenge, or simply enjoy the joy of swimming with friends and family in some of WA’s most inviting water. With experienced surf lifesavers on patrol, a lively beachside vibe, and the support of a passionate local club, Sorrento is more than just a swim; it’s a celebration of ocean swimming in true West Aussie style.

Stick around afterwards to enjoy the beachside coffee spots, breakfast joints, and ocean views, because this is what summer in Perth is all about.
