Welcome to the
Coogee Island Challenge
Autumn Swim
The Coogee Island Challenge (autumn edition) is the second ‘cut of the cake' for swimmers looking to take on this epic Wedding Cake Island ocean swim, with its spring equivalent having been held in November last year.
The event offers three ocean swim distances; an 800m Junior Dash for 10-12yrs, 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.
