Held over two days, the event offers a range of swimming distances to suit every age and ability, with the signature 3.6km swim to be held on the morning of Sunday 9th February 2025.
And for those who prefer to stay dry, there’s plenty of entertainment and activities including the family friendly FREE Busselton Jetty Swim Sunset Concert on Saturday 8th February 2025.
