Kick off the New Year salty and smiling with the Newport Pool to Peak Ocean Swim, one of the Northern Beaches’ most-loved swim mornings. Held by Newport SLSC, this community event offers three great distances and one seriously stunning setting.

Whether you’re testing the waters with a short swim or ready to take on the full 2km, Pool to Peak delivers. The event attracts swimmers of all levels, from first-timers to locals returning year after year, drawn in by the friendly vibe, smooth organisation, and that unbeatable feeling of diving into a fresh year.

Post-swim, there’s plenty to look forward to, fresh fruit waiting on the sand, a succulent surf club BBQ to refuel, and great prizes up for grabs in the lucky swimmer draw. Medals are also awarded to category winners and placegetters, but whether you’re chasing a podium or just a good time, everyone’s part of the celebration.

It’s the perfect excuse to start that New Year’s resolution early. Jump in, shake off the holiday food coma, and remind yourself how good it feels to be part of something active, oceanic, and joyful.
