About:
"..the best family open water swim in the west.."
(Ray Hinde, Prevelly Penguins, Margaret River 2009)
The Jetty to Jetty Swim is a special community event which provides a great opportunity for participants to take part by swimming or walking or just supporting and enjoying the breakfast. Organised by Cockburn Masters Swimming Club, it is an integral part of the 2017/18 Livelighter Masters Open Water Swim Series in WA but has an event focus of 'encouraging participation'.
This event is unique in offering both a 1,500m and 750m swim in clear sheltered waters between Coogee Beach and Woodman Point. Participants begin with a walk along the beach to the starting points then swim back to the Woodman Point Jetty. Competitors range from 10 through to 85+ years of age.
The highly successful 250m 'Try-It' Swim will again be available, adding to the family focus of this community event.
