Welcome to the 10th Annual Sunshine Coast Solstice Swim Event!

Sunday 27th June 2027

Presented by the Alexandra Headland Rotary Club and Alexandra Headland Surf Lifesaving Club, the Sunshine Coast Solstice Swim is a healthy and fun community swim event, run "by the community for the community". The swim is all about camaraderie, no pressure, just good vibes and fun!

Did I mention it's also a great way to start (and staying) in shape through winter?

At this stage, we are taking bookings for 1km, 3km and 5km.

We are planning shorter distances to encourage families and teams and businesses to participate. Stay tuned.

1km and 3km are our more popular distances, so book early!

5km - we have some amazing regular athletes who do this swim every year. Not for the faint hearted.

Know your capability - and there is absolutely no problem if you decide to go down a swim length on the day.

Are you up for the challenge?

All swim legs are chaperoned by the Alex Headland Lifesavers on boards and jet skis.

All events commence with a safety briefing on the beach by the AHSLC swim captain.

We are continuing with our relationship with Multi Sport Australia and will be supplying timing anklets to all swimmers, to provide peace of mind and that all important personal best time.

Thanks to your support last year Alex Rotary was able to provide the structure for a cafe at Maroochydore Neighbourhood Centre, deliver an outreach van for the homeless and folks sleeping rough on the coast, and to provide fitness facility for a transition home in Nambour that provides refuge and support to youth from 18-22 while they transition from difficult home situations to independent living.

We also support these areas who we are privileged to help.
