There are two races open to the public, the 1km Mini Swim Classic and the 2km Swim Classic. Schools, businesses and organisations are encouraged to assemble a team, for more fun and chances to win prizes.This year sees the second running of the Ord Minnett Charity Sprint, an invitational swim that will bring stars of the past & present together to swim for charity. You can also swim for charity by going to Everyday Hero and starting your own fundraising drive.

A great morning of fun for all with the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House, Royal Botanic Gardens and Sydney Harbour as beautiful backdrops. Truly a swim to remember.
