About this event

Take on Canberra’s longest-running open-water swimming race at the Sri Chinmoy National Capital Swim. Held on Sunday, 29 November 2026, the event follows the full 10-kilometre length of Lake Burley Griffin, offering a memorable course through the heart of the national capital.

Swim past iconic Canberra landmarks, including Government House, Parliament House and the National Gallery, while testing your endurance in one of the city’s most scenic waterways. Participants can enter as solo swimmers or share the challenge as part of a four-person relay team.

The race starts in deep water near Scrivener Point, with solo swimmers scheduled to begin at 7.45 am and relay teams from 8 am. The event is based in Yarralumla, with registration and race procedures taking place around Scrivener Point and the southern side of Scrivener Dam.

Whether aiming to complete the full distance independently or contribute one leg of a team effort, swimmers can expect a challenging and distinctive way to experience Lake Burley Griffin and Canberra’s national landmarks.
