Welcome to the
Coogee Island Challenge
Spring Swim
The Coogee Island Challenge (spring edition) is the first ‘cut of the cake' for swimmers looking to take on this epic island journey swim, with its spring equivalent having been held in April.
The event offers three ocean swim distances; an 800m Junior Dash and a 1km course in the relative safety of the bay, and the 2.4km main event, the later two distances for swimmers aged 13 years and over.
