About this event
MMAD Swim, also known as the Mount Martha Annual Diamond Swim, is a popular open-water swimming event held in the clear bayside waters off Mt Martha Beach. Hosted by the Mount Martha Life Saving Club since 1997, the event combines ocean swimming with a welcoming beach atmosphere and strong community spirit.
Held on Tuesday, 26 January 2027, the event forms part of the Great Victorian Swim Series and features a distinctive diamond-shaped course. Swimmers can choose from a range of distances to suit different ages and experience levels, including a 400m Novice Swim, the signature 1.2km Classic Swim and a 5km Endurance Challenge.
The 400m event provides an accessible introduction to open-water swimming, while the 1.2km swim offers a rewarding challenge for recreational swimmers and regular competitors alike. The 5km course is designed for experienced swimmers seeking a longer endurance challenge.
The 1.2km swim also includes a Swim With a Friend, Family or Team category, allowing participants to share the course and cross the finish together. With clearly marked courses and dedicated water safety support, the event offers a supportive environment for swimmers to enjoy the bay, challenge themselves and celebrate the occasion with family and friends.
MMAD Swim takes place at Mt Martha Beach, creating a relaxed summer setting for participants and spectators. Whether entering a first ocean swim, pursuing a personal best or taking on the longer distance, swimmers can expect a community-focused event that celebrates fitness, participation and the enjoyment of open water.
