The Proclamation Classic Swim draws its inspiration from South Australia’s 180-year heritage. Taking its name from the Governor’s Proclamation on 28 December 1836 that established the colony, the event pits swimmers’ skills and endurance against a historical constant, the beautiful waters of ‘the Bay’.
The Proclamation Classic gives swimmers two options , one and two-kilometre swims , all of which start and finish close to the popular Glenelg Jetty.
The swim is organised by the Adelaide Masters Swimming Club and the Glenelg Surf Life Saving Club in association with the Bay Sports Festival.
