The Swanny Ocean Classic is one of Western Australia’s longest-running and most beloved swims, a proud tradition stretching back over 30 years. Starting at Cottesloe Beach and finishing at Swanbourne, this point-to-point coastal swim offers a glorious slice of Indian Ocean blue, framed by golden sands and sea breeze.

It’s more than just a swim; it’s a WA summer ritual. The 2.2km course hugs the shoreline, making it ideal for spectators and giving swimmers a rolling view of the coast as they glide north. Expect a mix of conditions, from calm and glassy to playful swell, which adds just the right amount of spice to your swim.

Run by the dedicated team at Swanbourne Nedlands SLSC, the event is smooth, safe, and full of community energy. The finish line at Swanny buzzes with post-swim cheer, surf club support, and a real sense of achievement.

Whether you’re chasing a personal best, looking to tick off a classic, or simply soaking up the summer vibes, the Swanny Ocean Classic is a must-do for Perth swimmers and salty visitors alike.
