About this event
City to Scarbs is a point-to-point ocean swim and a signature event in the Swimming WA Open Water Series. Taking place on Saturday, 6 February 2027, the event follows Perth’s western coastline between City Beach and Scarborough Beach, offering swimmers a scenic open-water challenge with Indian Ocean views and a lively beach-to-beach atmosphere.
Swimmers can choose from four distances: a 500m swim, a 1.25km course, a 2.5km classic and a 5km coastal challenge. This range makes the event suitable for participants seeking a short introduction to ocean swimming as well as experienced swimmers ready for a longer test.
The course combines clear coastal water, open ocean conditions and a memorable finish at Scarborough Beach. Paddlers, surf lifesavers, volunteers and spectators contribute to the supportive event atmosphere, making the day as much a celebration of open-water swimming as a race.
After finishing, participants can enjoy the surrounding beach precinct, with opportunities to relax on the sand, take a recovery dip and make the most of Scarborough’s cafés and seaside atmosphere.
