The Byron Bay ocean swim classic is definitely one of the classics.
A favourite of the traditional ocean swimmers, the classic is held on the first Sunday in May each year – kicking off the winter swimming season.
The swim itself attracts a broad range of swimmers from throughout Australia – and it has been won by some of the biggest names in open water swimming in Australia, including past Olympians including Grant Hackett, Ky Hurst and Melissa Gorman.
