If you love swimming with a splash of marine magic, the Collaroy Beach Ocean Swims are for you. Set within the spectacular Long Reef Aquatic Reserve, this event offers the chance to glide over reef patches teeming with marine life, making it one of Sydney’s most scenic ocean swims.

With three short-distance events, it’s a relaxed, community-focused morning that’s perfect for first-timers, families, and swimmers easing into the ocean swim season. The welcoming atmosphere continues after your swim, with drinks and a great local vibe at the surf club.

Whether you’re chasing a leisurely saltwater fix or ticking off your very first ocean swim, Collaroy delivers a memorable day by the sea.

And if you want a lasting memento, be sure to pre-order the official event t-shirt, available in kids’, women’s and men’s sizes for $40, with orders closing 13 October.
