About this event
Leighton Beach hosts the opening round of the 2026/27 Open Water Swimming Series on Saturday, 7 November 2026.
Set against Fremantle’s welcoming coastal backdrop, the event offers a choice of four ocean-swimming distances: 500 metres, 1.25 kilometres, 2.5 kilometres and 5 kilometres. With options spanning introductory and longer-distance swims, it provides an opportunity for participants with different levels of experience to take part.
Swimmers can enjoy a clearly defined open-water course and a lively beach setting, with the event bringing together recreational participants, developing swimmers and experienced competitors. Leighton Beach’s broad sandy shoreline creates a relaxed place to gather before and after the swim, while the surrounding coastal precinct offers plenty of opportunities to unwind once the event is complete.
Whether tackling an open-water swim for the first time or building towards a longer distance, the Leighton round combines a scenic ocean course with the energy and community atmosphere of a major Western Australian swimming series.
