About the Event

Glide downstream on a scenic river current at the Bridge2Bridge Swim, a classic open water event returning to the Mitchell River in Bairnsdale on Saturday, 17 January 2026. This 2.5km point-to-point swim starts at the Lind Bridge, taking advantage of the natural flow as participants pass under the historic Rail Bridge before finishing at the Howitt Park rowing club landing. Designed for inclusivity, the event offers both a solo challenge for swimmers aged 17+ and a team relay option for groups of 2 or 3 (ages 13+), making it perfect for both seasoned open water athletes and those seeking a shared adventure.

With the event hub based at picturesque Howitt Park for registration, finish celebrations, and presentations, this January 17th swim is a fantastic way to dive into the summer season. It’s more than a race; it’s a community gathering that combines the unique pleasure of river swimming with the relaxed, friendly atmosphere of regional Victoria, all set against a beautiful natural backdrop.
