A PLACE TO FEEL GOOD
Last year, we introduced the Coogee Jetty to Jetty Swim as “a place to feel good” – a fun way of letting you all know what WE thought about this unique community event and what it means to us.
We all know this is a special event which offers a variety of swimming distances, an uplifting beach walk to the start line, kids activities, a terrific breakfast after your swim and pristine swimming conditions in the some of the most beautiful clear waters in WA – here at our very own Coogee Beach. But this event is more than all of that – it is also about all of the people involved. People from all walks of life, drawn from far and wide, people of different ages, generations and swimming abilities and many travelling with groups of friends, work colleagues, club members and families. All of you coming together to enjoy each other’s company, share some fun and enjoy a healthy activity in a safe and enjoyable environment – swimmers, spectators and volunteers alike.

For any cancellation of the Event in such circumstances, entry fee refunds will be at the organiser’s discretion, using best endeavours to offer partial refund arrangements (which may include payment, discount or donation options for swimmers) provided that all other event contractual commitments have been met first.
Will Daphne be making an appearance on race day?
