Ocean Swim Season
The Team Challenge moves back to Seven Mile Beach and will be rumn in conjunction with the Australian Police and Emergency Services Games a national event coming to Tasmania. The swim is an off the beach event with the course announced at the swim briefing. The Team Challenge offers swimmers to join with mates in 4 person mixed gender teams. The winning team will be determined by the lowest accumulated team points calculated from the combined waves and times of the 1500 m swim. Enter as an individual but don't forget to enter your four person team name. No race day individual entries but teams can be finalised on the day. Being the 2nd last race of the Tasmanian Ocean Swim Series valuable individual points are on the line.. A 500 m novice/nipper swim will also be offered.
In 2025, a new event is being launched! In addition to the iconic Beach2Beach swim, the Kingston 5k will run! Swimmers will have the option to complete the Beach2Beach course crossing the finish timing mat, then return to the water to swim a 2.4 k rectangle course to the northern end of the beach. This will allow swimmers to compete in TWO races in ONE so still collecting points in the Tasmanian Ocean Swim Series. We are so excited to be able to offer a longer swim for our keen ocean swimmers as we know this is something people have been wanting for a while now! We look forward to welcoming everyone to the line on the 23rd March
