Join us on Sunday, November 8, 2026, as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of one of Australia's most beloved ocean swims: the Bondi to Bronte Ocean Swim. For a quarter-century, this iconic event has brought swimmers from all over together to enjoy Sydney’s breathtaking coastline and immerse themselves in an unforgettable community tradition. This milestone year features the return of the traditional 5km course that stretches from Bondi Beach to Bronte Beach, along with exclusive merchandise commemorating the occasion. Swimmers will also have a chance to celebrate alongside fellow participants, volunteers, and supporters who have made this event what it is today. Choose your adventure based on your swimming ability: take on the classic 2.2km swim between Bondi and Bronte or challenge yourself further with the full 5km course that loops back from Bronte to Bondi. For those new to ocean swims, there’s also a welcoming 1km event in scenic Bondi Bay. Swimmers aged ten years and older are invited to join the Junior Wave of the 1km swim at Bondi Bay. Entry is limited for everyone's safety and enjoyment, so be sure to register early to secure your spot. Whether you’re swimming solo or as part of a team, this event offers something special for all participants. Dive into the cool waters of Sydney’s coast while surrounded by stunning views and an enthusiastic community. For more information on entering a group or taking advantage of bundle pricing options, visit our website where you can find details about how to join in on the excitement and help us make 2026 another memorable year for this cherished tradition.
