We run a fair event for all, with swimmer safety at the forefront of all our planning and event execution.
In water temperature above 18C every swimmer is welcome to wear a wetsuit, however 'wettie-wearers' will start in a dedicated wave and will be listed in their own category for results. There is a prize for first female and first male wetsuit wearer.
For water temperature below 18C all participants are actively encouraged to wear a wetsuit.
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.
Plan your trip using the Transport NSW Trip Planner.
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 are 2 bag truck departure times, so if you are in a later wave group you can keep your clothes, keeping warm for longer. Look for the truck
in the designated bag drop area near the registrations area - or ask any of our helpful event crew.
You will be given a tag to tie and write your swim number on and your bag will be transported to Bronte Beach. 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 or card) is available on Sunday 1st December at the registration area from 7:00am – 10:00am 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.
We accept Credit Cards (sorry no Amex).
