The Winter Whales invite entrants of the cancelled 25th Beach Hotel Ocean Swim Classic to come for an informal swim on Sunday 3rd June. A course, depending on conditions of the day, will be set so you can have a swim from 10:00 am to 11:00 am There will be no structured start or timing, just a fun swim; you could even race your mates or family members. Then join us for our Charities Day from 11:00 am, where we hand out the proceeds of the Beach Hotel Ocean Swim Classic and the Westpac Mini-swim.

The 2013's event will be held, as usual, on the first Sunday in May, i.e the 5th May 2013

So why are we celebrating?

The Byron Bay Winter Whales Ocean Swim Classic was first held in 1988 and has been running annually ever since. Starting out with a very small number of ocean swimmers, "swimming for charity", the Winter Whales Ocean Swim has now over 1700 regular participants and the numbers continue to rise every year.

We now offer a choice of two swims - The Beach Hotel Ocean Swim Classic and the shorter Westpac Mini Swim, both finishing at Main Bach Byron Bay. Both swims are along a buoyed course with ample water safety provided.

Quick Reference

International Swimmers

Local swimmers compete against those from the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. The swim is used as an end of season trip away for many ocean swimmers who delight in competing against new and old friends in the true spirit of these events. In the past, swimmers of the caliber of Josh Santacaterina, Susie O'Neill, Jon Konrads, Grant Hackett, Kye Hurst, and Melissa Gorman, have swum in Byron Bay Ocean Swim Classic.
