The Team Challenge Swim is the penultimate event in the Tasmanian Ocean Swim Series, and it’s where tactics, teamwork, and a healthy dose of splashy fun take centre stage. It’s ocean swimming with a twist, fast-paced, team-based, and full of high-fives and big energy.

Held on the wide, golden sands of Carlton Beach, this event invites swimmers to form teams and tackle the waves in a tag-team format that’s equal parts competitive and social. It’s perfect for mates looking for a laugh, clubs wanting to build team spirit, or anyone who reckons that ocean swimming is better when it’s shared.

You’ll dive in, swim your leg, tag your teammate, and cheer each other on from the beach. Whether you’re sprinting for a spot on the podium or just soaking up the atmosphere, it’s a great way to get involved without the pressure of a long solo swim.

It’s fast, fun, and flexible, with divisions that welcome a mix of ages, paces, and personalities. Add to that the series points up for grabs, and you’ve got a swim that ticks all the boxes: energetic, inclusive, and a little bit cheeky.

So rally your crew, grab your swimmers, and get ready to tag, splash, and sprint your way through one of the most spirited events in the Tassie swim calendar.
