About the Event

Bilgola's iconic crescent beach becomes Sydney's northern beaches aquatic proving ground at the Bilgola 'Billy' Swim on March 1, 2026, where 500m and 1.5km course options allow swimmers to choose their challenge level while supporting the local surf lifesaving club's vital operations. This oceanswims.com-facilitated event represents the symbiotic relationship between competitive open water swimming and community safety infrastructure, with modest service fees directly subsidizing the Bilgola SLSC's event management capabilities. The dual-distance format—with combined entry options for endurance enthusiasts—creates a scalable experience where teenage newcomers and seasoned ocean veterans can share the same Pacific swells.

With January 10th marking the transition from early bird to standard pricing, the event incentivizes off-season commitment while accommodating spontaneous March participation. More than isolated races, these concurrent swims demonstrate how digital registration platforms can amplify traditional club fundraising, ensuring Bilgola's distinctive coastal character continues to be protected by the very swimmers who celebrate it through disciplined aquatic traversal.
