Whether you're a competitive swimmer or a weekend warrior, the Kings of the Coast Ocean Swim Festival is your chance to conquer iconic open water distances in one big weekend of surf, sand and swimming.
Held in Caloundra 28 - 29 April, the ultimate ocean swimming festival begins with the new 1500 metre olympic relay - a solo, pairs and teams event that promises action a-plenty for both swimmers and spectators alike. Following the relay, a free 300 metre kidz dash will also be held. On Sunday, test your mettle in the ultimate open water challenge - a 3.8 kilometre ironman distance swim from Moffat Beach to Kings Beach. If you competed as part of a team in Saturday's olympic relay, step up in distance and set your sights on Sunday's one kilometre short course at Kings Beach. No matter what your swimming ability, your next challenge awaits at the Kings of the Coast Ocean Swim Festival.
