The Great Bayside Swim is the kind of community swim that has something for everyone, from toe-dippers to tide-chasers. Held in the heart of Melbourne’s beachside Brighton, this swim brings together families, first-timers, and seasoned ocean swimmers for a classic Aussie summer’s day by the bay.
Previously known as the Great Australia Day Swim, it’s now a refreshed take on a long-standing favourite. Whether you’re diving in for the 200m splash or taking on the full 2.5km challenge, you’ll be swimming with hundreds of like-minded ocean lovers, all against the backdrop of the iconic Brighton Beach.
There’s music, food, local market stalls, and a buzz in the air. Even better, every entry supports the Brighton Rotary’s community projects, so you’re doing good while soaking up the good vibes.
