About this event
The Avalon Beach Surf Swims are a Northern Beaches favourite, bringing together ocean swimming, a friendly surf club atmosphere and a scenic course along Sydney’s coast. The event offers two distances: a 1.2km swim held just off Avalon Beach and a 2.5km point-to-point swim from Newport to Avalon, with both swims designed for swimmers looking for a rewarding open-water challenge.
The shorter course is ideal for those after a fast, fun hit-out close to shore, while the longer swim follows the coastline north from Newport and finishes at Avalon Beach. It’s known for clear water, rocky headlands and a classic summer ocean-swim feel, making it a strong choice for confident swimmers who enjoy a bit of adventure with their Sunday morning activity.
With a community-focused vibe and a beach setting that suits both regular ocean swimmers and those looking to step up in distance, this event has become a much-loved part of the local summer calendar.
