If you’re after a swim that will show you some of the best marine life Sydney has to offer, The Collaroy Beach Ocean Swim is just that.
The event on Sydney’s northern beaches has two swims over relatively short distances, an 800m and 1.8km over martini glass-shaped courses.
Both swims take you over patches of reef that really highlight the local marine biodiversity.
Collaroy Beach is actually situated smack bang in the middle of one of Sydney’s largest marine parks, Long Reef Aquatic Reserve.
