About this event
The Leisure Coast Kitchens Shellharbour Ocean Swim brings swimmers to the scenic waters of Shellharbour on the New South Wales South Coast for a welcoming day of ocean swimming, community spirit and coastal fun.
With three distances available, the event offers an accessible challenge for a wide range of abilities:
- 400m Junior Swim: Designed for swimmers aged 8 to 12, this confidence-building course stays close to shore with water safety support throughout.
- 1.2km Ocean Swim: Open to swimmers aged 13 and over, this scenic course starts at Shellharbour Boat Harbour, passes through the harbour entrance and around Cowries Headland, then follows the coastline past Cunji Rock Platform to North Shellharbour Beach.
- 2km Ocean Swim: Also open to swimmers aged 13 and over, this longer course follows the same coastal route before adding an extra northern loop.
The 400m swim finishes at Shellharbour Beach, while the 1.2km and 2km events finish in front of the surf club. The clear coastal setting, reef-fringed shoreline and supportive atmosphere make the event suitable for first-time ocean swimmers, developing juniors and experienced swimmers seeking a longer challenge.
Registration for the 400m, 1.2km and 2km swims is scheduled for the morning, followed by a briefing for the longer events before the swims begin. Presentations are planned after the final finishers.
Held on Saturday 20 March 2027 at Main Beach and Shellharbour Boat Harbour, the event is a relaxed way to enjoy the South Coast, take on a personal swimming goal and finish the morning among fellow ocean-swimming enthusiasts.
