Yes, we can cater for your dietary requirements, and you will be asked about these when you book your tour.
What swimming ability is needed to be a swimmer on the tour?
You must be able to swim at least 2km nonstop freestyle (e.g. you may have previously completed a 2km ocean swim event).
This level is required due to two point-to-point swims (Bondi to Bronte and Coogee Island) requiring this distance to be swum continuously.
If you can’t swim 2km but can swim 1km and would like to be a guest on this tour, you can attend; however, you may not be able to participate in the point-to-point ocean swims.
Swim fins are also an option for those swimmers who’d prefer to have extra support while swimming longer distances.
Can my friend/partner join me if they don't want to do the swims?
Yes! We welcome friends/partners to join swimmers at a ratio of one non-swimming guest to one swimming guest. Non-swimming guests can participate in all activities except the scheduled ocean swims.
Will I be safe in the water?
Experienced local swim guides will provide water safety. On the ocean swims, guides will be with you in the water with rescue tubes.
All point-to-point ocean swimmers must use a tow float. These floats provide additional visibility and floatation and can carry a small number of items, such as phones, GoPros, and puffers.
How much walking is involved?

All the walks include multiple stops for sightseeing and swimming.
