The Vladswim Challenge is a beast, in the best possible way. Based at the stunning Balmoral Beach, this swim isn’t just about distance, it’s about mindset. From 2.5km to a monster 10km and everything in between, it’s Sydney’s ultimate open water endurance event.

It’s not your average Sunday splash. This is where you test your limits, chase big goals, and join a community of swimmers who thrive on the long haul. Whether you’re prepping for a channel crossing, clocking up race kilometres for a big season ahead, or teaming up for a relay with mates, the Vladswim Challenge delivers the goods.

Expect calm, protected harbour conditions, water safety you can count on, and expert organisation from the team behind some of Australia’s toughest distance training programs. Plus, there’s nothing like that feeling when you finish a swim that once felt out of reach.

Big swim energy, Balmoral beauty, and all the salty satisfaction that comes from pushing yourself further, this one’s got it all.
