Why do we have waves?
Why are 10 min breaks scheduled between the waves?
We want to run a fair event for all, however swimmer safety is absolutely paramount.
Every swimmer is welcome to wear a wetsuit, however 'wettie-wearers' will be listed in their own category for results, NOT in age groups and will
not be eligible for overall or age group prizes.
Bondi Beach provides metered parking in the Park Drive and ticketed parking in Queen Elizabeth Drive.
Bronte Beach offers paid parking in the Bronte Beach Cutting car park.
Many competitors park at Bronte and walk the coastal walk from Bronte to Bondi and leave their personal belongings in the security area, which is bagged and transported back to Bronte, prior to the completion of the swim.
Both Bronte and Bondi Beaches provide great public transport options.
Bronte Beach is linked by the NEW 440 bus service to Central Railway Station via Bondi Junction Railway Station with buses running on a Sunday every 20 mins. Bondi Junction Railway Station is located at the end of the Eastern Suburbs railway line with a regular service to Martin Place and Town Hall, in the city and Central Railway Station.
Bondi Beach has a number of Bus Services (365, 380, 381, L82), running every 10 mins to Circular Quay and Central Railway Station.
The Bondi to Bronte ocean swim follows the coast from Bondi Beach around Mackenzies point, past Tamarama Beach and into Bronte.
The Bronte to Bondi coastal walk provides spectators and supporters with a spectacular view of the course and all the swimmers from the cliff top path. The walk forms an amphitheatre for spectators to follow all the action in the water.
There will be several baggage delivery times, so if you are in a later wave group you can keep your clothes, keeping warm for longer. Look for
the large van in the parking area near the registrations area - or ask any of our helpful event crew.
You will be given a tag to tie and write your name and contact details on and will be transported to Bronte Beach. The swimmer bags will be delivered into the park area where they will separated by swim wave colours. There will be a team who will secure and help you locate your bag easily.
All swimmers need to mark off their name on the morning at the registration tables in the Bondi Beach Event Site. At registration you will need
to collect your ankle strap timing chip and your colour coded swim cap. Each age group registration table is clearly marked.
Don't be late, as B2B registration closing time is 30 minutes prior to your age category wave time.
Late Entries (cash only) are available on Sunday 2nd December at the registration area from 7:30am – 8.30am only, or as late entries sell out.
Please note we have a limit of how many swimmers we can take on the day, so please come down early if you wish to register on the day.
No Credit Card payments available.
