welcome to the
Great Victorian Swim Series
2022-2023
The Great Victorian Swim Series is a not for profit “club” promoting fitness, fun, camaraderie & competition among swimmers and supporters of the Victorian open water swim community. For a small annual registration fee you will receive many benefits while helping to raise funds for Victorian Life Saving Clubs.
The Great Victorian Swim Series is brought to you by Cousins Tours & Travel and Light on Landscape. We are grateful for the support of Masters Swimming Victoria . Most importantly, the series runs alongside ocean swim events that are all conducted by our hard working and critical Surf Life Saving Clubs and the funds raised from the swims go to keeping our beaches safe.
The "Great Victorian Swim Series" is an ocean swim series for the thousands of recreational swimmers who take part in individual swims over summer. The aim of the series is to encourage more people to be active and take part in these great community events that help raise money for our surf life saving clubs.

Series points
Series Points will be allocated for GVSS Entrants only but points allocated will be a lot lower than in previous years and will focus on encouraging entrants to do more events. Points will be as follows 1st - 4, 2nd - 3, 3rd - 2, everyone else gets 1 point including those that DNF and those that entered but did not swim. Points will be apply to a Short and Long course distance and there will be NO separate wetsuit and non-wetsuit category. You must do a minimum of 5 races to qualify however this year if you do more than 5 events, your points will be tallied for all events - so it does not necessarily mean the fastest swimmer will be the series winner if they only do the minimum number of races. Two swim events will be designated as DOUBLE points!
