About the Event

Dive into history and surf at the Cole Classic on February 1, 2026, Australia's most iconic ocean swim held at the stunning Manly Beach in Sydney, now sold out for its largest-ever field. Established in 1983, this beloved first-Sunday-in-February tradition draws thousands of swimmers from around the world to choose from a range of distances, catering to all ages and abilities in a vibrant celebration of community, wellness, and charitable fundraising. While the 2026 event has reached capacity, the only way to secure a spot is through an official entry transfer from a registered participant—prospective swimmers are advised to be vigilant against scams.

If you missed out this year, mark your calendar for October 2026 when entries open for the 2027 edition of this world-renowned swim. The Cole Classic is more than a race; it’s a Sydney summer institution where every stroke supports causes close to your heart against the breathtaking backdrop of Manly's iconic coastline.
