Port to Park Open Water Swim
The Port to Park Open Water Swim, first held in 2007, is a 1.1km and a 2.2km straight line swim.
In 2025 we will be introducing a 250m kids swim and 500m for individuals and also a Family Friendly option. Up to 4 members of the same family can swim together.
The 1.1km swim starts at Lagoon Pier, Port Melbourne and finishes at Kerferd Pier, Albert Park. The 2.2km swim starts and finishes at Kerferd Pier.
The 250m will start on the beach, kids will swim around approximately 2 buoys and finish at Kerferd Pier.
The 500m will start opposite the South Melbourne LSC and finish at Kerferd Pier.
Swimmers follow our bright pink buoys down a string line, located about 50m off shore, which gives friends and families the opportunity to walk along the waters edge at meet their swimmer at the finish line. The start is a floating start with the finish a run up the sand and through the timing gate.
