About this event

Vladswim Challenge is a Sydney Harbour ocean swim held at Chinamans Beach, Mosman, with event-day briefings at Rosherville Reserve. The 2026 event is scheduled for Saturday, 12 December.

Swimmers can choose from three distances: 2.5km, 5km or 10km. The 10km course provides a genuine marathon-distance open-water challenge, while the shorter options offer accessible alternatives for swimmers building experience or seeking a less demanding harbour swim.

For the 10km distance, swimmers are allowed and strongly encouraged to have a personal support paddler. A paddler can provide additional assistance during the swim and carry nutrition and drink bottles.

Compulsory race briefings are scheduled for 7.45am for 10km swimmers and 8.45am for 2.5km and 5km swimmers. Each briefing takes place 15 minutes before the relevant race start and covers the course, swim direction, turning point, buoys and conditions to be aware of.

On-the-day entries may be accepted if places remain available. Manual processing attracts a surcharge, and entry availability may be limited.

Please mention you found this event via KeepActive when contacting the organiser — thank you for your support!
