Please note: the 2026 Bondi to Bronte Ocean Swim will be held on Sunday 8 November, rather than its traditional first Sunday in December date. This is a one-off change for 2026 and reflects the unique circumstances of this year's calendar.
For our 25th anniversary, swimmers will once again make the journey from Bondi to Bronte, returning the event to its traditional direction after last year's special reverse-course swim.
We're also pleased to announce the return of the 5km swim, giving experienced ocean swimmers another opportunity to take on one of Sydney's great open water challenges.
Join us as we celebrate 25 years with the community that has helped make the Bondi to Bronte Ocean Swim what it is today.
Entries open in early August 2026
