About the Event

Dive into a spectacular summer evening at the Mornington CSA Twilight Swim, the only event of its kind on the calendar, held on Friday, 16 January 2026, at the picturesque Mills Beach. Hosted by the Mornington Life Saving Club, this popular open water swim offers four distinct events: the competitive 1.2km race (part of the Great Victorian Swim Series), a challenging 2.5km swim, a 400m novice event, a fast 500m ENGINE Sprint, and a free Nipper Dash for children, creating an inclusive festival for swimmers of all ages and abilities. As the sun sets over Port Phillip Bay, participants can enjoy a uniquely social and competitive atmosphere, with age-group prizes, medals, and the chance for 1.2km place-getters to enter the thrilling ENGINE Sprint for free.

With a 6:00 PM start for the 2.5km race on January 16th, this twilight swim is the perfect way to kick off the weekend, combining serious ocean swimming with a vibrant community celebration. It’s more than a race; it’s a beloved local tradition where families, seasoned athletes, and newcomers alike can test their limits, enjoy optional event t-shirts, and revel in the stunning coastal scenery as day turns to dusk.
