The Coogee Island Challenge (summer edition) is the first ‘cut of the cake’ for swimmers looking to take on this epic island journey swim, with its autumn equivalent swim being held in April.
This swim is the perfect opportunity to circumnavigate Wedding Cake Island, a little rock reef sitting offshore from Coogee Beach in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, and start the ocean swimming season with a bang.
The event offers three ocean swim distances; an 800m Junior Dash (10-12 years of age), a 1km course in the relative safety of the bay and then the main event – a 2.4km ocean swim that circumnavigates Wedding Cake Island. Both the 1km and 2.4km swims are for ages 13 years and over.
