The Cooly Classic | Apr 30
It’s official, the Cooly Classic course is a dead set stunner! 
  There are four distances, from 1km to 5km, but it’s always the 2.0km Cooly Classic from Snapper Rocks to Kirra Beach which attracts the masses.

Swim the Gold Coast | May 06
The 2023 event has a host of new additions, to provide swimmers with more options and also contingencies in the event of extreme weather, including: - 21km Start Area moves to Kirra Beach
 - 21km Wave Starts begin at 730am to allow more time for Support Boats to travel / assemble
 - A new 10km course has been added – a support paddler is mandatory, but no motorised boat is required
 - A stand-by day (May 07) has been added to the program which all swimmers must consider in travel plans
 
 There are also no credits and deferrals from previous years, so the full complement of entries will be available for all events when entries open later on October 20.
