About this event
Swim Thru Perth is a historic open-water swimming event held in the calm, protected waters of Matilda Bay at Crawley, overlooking the Swan River. First held in 1912, it is among Australia’s longest-running open-water swims.
The event offers three course distances: 800 metres, 1.6 kilometres and 3.5 kilometres, providing options for different levels of experience and fitness. Swimmers can enjoy views across the Perth skyline, with the leafy surroundings of Kings Park providing a striking backdrop on the opposite side of the river.
Scheduled for Sunday, 17 January 2027, the event is currently listed as provisional, with final arrangements to be confirmed. Participants should check the organiser’s latest information for confirmed timings, registration details, course conditions and event-day requirements.
