Swim Tours
Where Ocean Adventure Meets Iconic City Vibes
Join us for an unforgettable long weekend of ocean swims, pool dips, and harbour cruising in the home of Australian ocean swimming – Sydney.
This carefully curated escape blends all the best bits of the city’s active coastal lifestyle. You’ll explore the golden sands and rolling surf of Sydney’s eastern suburbs, swimming at iconic beaches like Bondi, Bronte, and Coogee under the guidance of our friendly local team. Each swim is inspired by the area’s famous ocean swim events but delivered in a relaxed, achievable format that welcomes all confidence levels.
We’ll also take time to unwind in Sydney’s most scenic saltwater pools; think Bondi Icebergs, Bronte Baths, and a few hidden gems tucked into the harbour. These ocean-fed pools offer the perfect balance of serenity and scenery (and yes, they’re as photogenic as you’ve heard).
To top it all off, we’ll hop aboard a boat for a gentle cruise around Sydney Harbour, taking in the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and secluded swim spots only the locals know. It’s a chance to float, splash, and soak it all in; no rush, just pure enjoyment.
Whether you’re dipping your toe into ocean swimming or chasing your next coastal adventure, Swim Sydney is the perfect way to connect with the ocean, the city, and like-minded swimmers.
Come for the swims, stay for the lifestyle.

A Note About Conditions: We always hope for beautiful weather and calm seas, and most of the time, that’s exactly what we get! But as with any ocean adventure, nature has the final say. Our tours will go ahead in all weather, and we have flexible plans in place to adjust the itinerary if conditions aren’t ideal or safe for swimming. While we do everything we can to deliver all planned swims and activities, we can’t guarantee every one will be possible on every tour. Thanks for understanding that part of the magic of ocean swimming is learning to go with the flow. Please note that no compensation is offered for missed swims or activities.

Swimming & Activities
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.
We welcome swimmers of all speeds.
We recommended bringing and wearing swim fins on the longer swims if you think you may be significantly slower than the group.

Experienced local swim guides will provide water safety. On the ocean swims, guides will be with you in the water with rescue tubes.
