Whether you're a competitive swimmer or a weekend warrior, the Kings of the Coast Ocean Swim Festival is your chance to conquer iconic open water distances in one big weekend of surf, sun and swimming in Caloundra.
Your Options | Saturday April 28
The Festival begins on Saturday April 28th with the new Olympic distance 1500m Relay Challenge, an event promising action a plenty for both swimmers and spectators alike.
The event will consist of three laps of a 500m course with swimmers exiting the water after each lap to complete a short beach sprint (50-100m).
The 500m course also allows team competitors to choose their own distance. Compete as an individual (1500m), a pair (500m & 1000m) or as a 3 person team with each swimmer completing one lap of the 500m course.
This exciting new format provides a great spectacle with swimmers entering and exiting the surf three times before crossing the finish line. This means more opportunities for supporters to cheer on their swimmers...and for swimmers to bask in the glory of the crowd!
The Hot 91.1 300m Kids Surf Dash will following the 1500m Olympic Relay on Saturday afternoon. This event is the perfect introduction to open water swimming for kids and also gives them an opportunity to enjoy the thrill of a beach sprint finish!
This is a free, fun event for kids aged 10 years and older.
Your Options | Sunday April 29
On Sunday April 29, test your mettle in the ultimate open water challenge - a 3.8km ironman distance swim from Moffat Beach to Kings Beach.
This 3.8km swim is not for the faint hearted but provides a great end goal for every swimmer in the 2012 Queensland Ocean Swim Series.
If you competed as part of a team in the Olympic Relay, step up in distance and set your sights on Sunday's Sunshine Coast Daily Caloundra 1000 Short Course at Kings Beach.
The 1.0km course is the perfect introduction for less experienced ocean swimmers and retains the popular point-to-point format.
No matter what your swimming ability, your next challenge awaits at Caloundra!
Plus great age group and spot prizes up for grabs!
Location:
Kings Beach, Caloundra - 1 hr north of Brisbane.
