Why this event?

A relaxed ocean swim in a stunning coastal setting

Swim Forster is all about easy, enjoyable ocean swimming in one of NSW’s most inviting coastal settings.

Held in the crystal-clear, calm waters of Forster, this swim is perfectly suited to first-timers dipping their toes into ocean events, as well as experienced swimmers looking for a relaxed, confidence-boosting hit-out. With 2km, 1km and 500m options on offer, you can choose a distance that feels right for you and simply enjoy the swim.

This is ocean swimming without the extra gear or pressure. No bike, no run shoes, just you, the water, and the supportive atmosphere created by Elite Energy Events. Expect a lively event hub, friendly faces, and that unmistakable race-weekend buzz, all set against the natural beauty of Forster’s coastline.

Swim Forster forms part of a big, active weekend in town. The swims take place alongside Run Forster on Sunday, following the NSW Triathlon Club Championships on Saturday, creating a full festival of movement, community, and coastal energy.

If you’re looking for a swim that feels welcoming, scenic, and genuinely fun, this is a great excuse to plan a summer race-cation and soak up everything Forster has to offer.
