ENTRIES CLOSING SOON

Dive into Australia’s largest ocean swim and secure your spot for Sunday, February 5, 2012.

Take up the challenge and join thousands of swimmers as they gather at Manly to compete in the 29th annual Sydney Morning Herald Cole Classic.

This year we are excited to launch a new open water swim, known as the Cole Classic Dee Why to Manly. With a distance of approximately nine kilometres the long distance offers the perfect challenge for experienced ocean swimmers to take part in the event and test their abilities.

The Cole Classic Dee Why to Manly compliments the 1km and 2km swims, which will start from Shelly and finish at Manly Beach (subject to conditions).

The event aims to raise much needed funds for more than 600 charities, including the Manly Life Saving Club.
