DISTANCE 300m, 1km, 2km, 3km

The course for the Cooly Classic will have competitors swim through some of the country's most iconic surf beaches as the 3km and 2km swims starting at Snapper Rocks, then following the coast North passing through Rainbow Bay, Coolangatta and then finishing at Kirra beach.
This years event is the first time that the 3km swim will be added, giving swimmers a new challenge to push further across the surf beaches, as it follows the same course of the 2km swim with an extra leg added when the swimmers pass Kirra Point. The event also includes the Cooly 1000 and the Junior Giants swim as warm up or introduction swim for kids and less experienced swimmers.
You’ll also get to swim alongside some leading Australian athletes and a host of special guests, including World Series Swims Ambassador, Michael Klim. Every participant receives a free event t-shirt and opportunity for a signing session with the special guests.
