Danger Ocean Swim Series

Über den Wettkampf

The Danger Ocean Swim Series is far more than just a race; it is a cornerstone of the Torquay community and a premier event on the Australian open water calendar. Founded in 1999, this iconic series is hosted by the dedicated volunteers of the Jan Juc Surf Life Saving Club. By participating, you are directly supporting the club’s vital mission to keep local beaches safe, making every stroke a contribution to the volunteer-run lifesaving services that protect our shores. Set within the iconic Point Danger, also affectionately known as 'Cosy Corner,' the event offers a breathtaking backdrop of the Great Ocean Road’s rugged coastline. The atmosphere on the day is electric, drawing a diverse mix of elite ocean swimmers, local families, and first-time participants who travel from across the country to experience one of Australia's most beloved aquatic challenges. The series is remarkably family-friendly, featuring the 'Danger Dash' for children aged 6-12, allowing the next generation of swimmers to get their feet wet in a safe, encouraging environment. Whether you are aiming for the 5km endurance test or a relaxed 500m swim, the event is designed to celebrate the joy of the ocean. After your race, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to relax; the area is a gateway to world-class surfing culture and stunning coastal vistas.
