About this event
The Bathing Box Classic is an open water swim held at Dendy Beach, Brighton, beside Melbourne’s iconic bathing boxes. Swimmers can choose between a 2.5km course and a shorter 1.2km option, making it suitable for both more experienced ocean swimmers and those looking for a shorter challenge.
Organised by the Brighton Life Saving Club, the event is part of the ocean swim calendar and is designed as a community-focused summer swim with a scenic bayside setting. The course is generally run as an around-the-buoys ocean swim, with the beach access point at the end of Dendy Street.
The event is also known for attracting a range of age groups, with entries typically open to swimmers aged 12 years and over. As an open water swim, it is a physically demanding event and participants are expected to be comfortable swimming in marine conditions.
With its combination of a landmark location, two distance options and a lively summer atmosphere, the Bathing Box Classic is a popular fixture on Brighton’s sporting calendar.
