Join the exclusive club of ocean swimmers who have ventured behind the island! Leaving the shore at Mudjimba, find yourself swimming out around the iconic Old Woman Island, across reef home to curious turtles, before heading back to shore in time for coffee and breakfast. Make it a race against the clock or a micro adventure around an island you’ve seen from the beach, but not yet explored…
This is an event is for everyone, from passionate swimmers to new swimmers wanting to take on a challenge.
This year, the event will be help on the same day as the iconic Island Charity Swim. We hope to see you there on Saturday 8th May, 2021.
