Official event pageWhat this race demands
The Bermagui Ocean Swim requires sustained aerobic endurance over a 1.2 km circuit in an open ocean environment.

Covering a 1.2 km distance in open water demands continuous cardiovascular output without the benefit of wall pushes found in a pool.
Open water navigation
Racing in Horseshoe Bay requires consistent sighting and stroke adaptation to manage natural water conditions and maintain a direct line.
