The Cerberus Swim Classic is back for 2027!
Join us at beautiful Half Moon Bay, alongside the historic HMAS Cerberus, for one of the friendliest open water swims on the Victorian calendar. C
Choose the 2.5km, the 1.2km or the 200–300m Junior Dash, or take on two distances and make a morning of it.
Whether you’re chasing a PB or doing your very first ocean swim, you’ll be in safe hands. Lifeguards line the course, our volunteers are famously welcoming, and the beach is buzzing with commentary, music and post-swim fruit to cheer you over the line.
Proudly hosted by Half Moon Bay Surf Life Saving Club and part of the Great Victorian Swim Series. Every entry supports our volunteer lifesavers who keep the bay safe all summer.
Keep an eye on our website and socials for updates, and register early, because the event sold out last year.
See you on the sand!
