Swim Tours
Dive into an unforgettable aquatic experience in Sydney, Australia – the home of ocean swimming. The itinerary perfectly blends ocean swims, iconic ocean pool visits, and a breathtaking boat tour of Sydney Harbour.
This unique adventure is designed for ocean swimmers seeking an active and scenic exploration of Sydney’s stunning coastline and world-famous harbour.
Explore the golden beaches of Sydney’s eastern suburbs as you swim under the guidance of experienced local guides. From the gentle waves of Coogee Beach to the more exhilarating conditions of Bondi and Bronte, each ocean swim is tailored to give you the authentic local experience, mimicking the popular eastern suburbs’ ocean swim events.
You’ll dive into some of Sydney’s most iconic ocean pools, including the stunning Bondi Icebergs, Bronte Baths, and popular harbour pools. Nestled along the coastline, these saltwater pools offer a serene swimming experience where you can capture Instagram-worthy moments and unwind.
To cap off your adventure, you’ll take a leisurely boat tour of Sydney Harbour, cruising past iconic landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. You’ll have the chance to take a refreshing dip in the harbour’s stunning secluded bays, soaking in the serenity of one of the most beautiful harbours in the world.
Meet active, like-minded people and experience the thrill of the ocean, the tranquillity of Sydney’s pools, and the magic of its iconic harbour on one unforgettable long weekend.

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.
No. You can choose which swims you participate in.
No. This tour requires a high level of freestyle swimming ability.

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