About this event
Swim The Pier returns to Bridport Beach on Sunday, 3 January 2027, offering a choice of 500m, 1km and 2km ocean swims along the scenic coastline of Tasmania’s north-east.
Organised by Bridport Surf Life Saving Club, the event forms part of the Tasmanian Ocean Swim Series and centres on Bridport’s historic timber pier. Each course provides a memorable open-water swimming experience, with the longer distances looping around the pier before returning to shore.

- 1km ocean swim: A relaxed yet rewarding challenge that takes swimmers out around the pier and back to the beach.
- 2km ocean swim: A longer course suited to experienced ocean swimmers seeking a satisfying endurance challenge.
With its beautiful beach setting, approachable distances and friendly surf-club atmosphere, Swim The Pier welcomes swimmers of varied abilities. Participants can enjoy a picturesque course while taking in Bridport’s coastal scenery and the supportive energy of spectators and fellow competitors.
Whether the goal is to build confidence in open water, take on a new distance or enjoy a refreshing summer swim, Swim The Pier offers a scenic and inclusive way to experience one of Tasmania’s most appealing seaside locations.
