About the Event

Conquer one of Australia's most unique open-water swims at the San Remo Channel Challenge on February 28, 2026, Victoria's premier aquathon event hosted by the Woolamai Beach Surf Life Saving Club. This iconic race challenges athletes with a 550-meter channel swim from San Remo to Phillip Island, timed perfectly with the high tide slack water, followed by a dramatic 2km barefoot run back across the Phillip Island Bridge. More than just a race, it's the heart of a vibrant town festival, complete with markets, food vendors, and live music that brings the entire Bass Coast community together.

Compete for a share of $6,000 in cash and prizes across junior, senior, open, and local categories. Your participation directly supports the volunteer surf lifesavers who patrol Phillip Island's beaches, making every stroke and stride count toward community safety. Dive in for an unforgettable day of sport, spectacle, and seaside celebration.
