Countdown to event
Welcome to the
Sorrento Bay Swim
Registrations for the Sorrento Bay Swim open on the 1st October 2024!
The 2025 Sorrento Bay Swim is an open water swim for swimmers of all abilities offering the following 3 courses:
- 600m - Sorrento Beach to Sorrento Foreshore for junior and novice swimmers,
- 2,000m - Sullivans Bay to Sorrento Foreshore for experienced swimmers and
- 4,000m - Camerons Bight to Sorrento Foreshore for elite swimmers.
The Sorrento Bay Swim is a major fundraising activity for the Sorrento Surf Life Saving Club allowing the club to continue delivering volunteer patrols on the Sorrento Back Beach and a nipper program that teaches water safety and first aid to the youth of the area. The Club has a proud history and tradition of surf lifesaving education, competition and patrolling achieved through the community spirit of its volunteer members.
With entries expected to be around 500 swimmers, and catering for both elite athletes and novices of all ages, we are planning to deliver our best swim yet!
