About the race
The Derwent River Big Swim is Tasmania’s original 34-kilometre ultra-marathon swim. It begins in the fresh water of the Derwent Valley at the historic town of New Norfolk and finishes beneath Hobart’s iconic Tasman Bridge. The series offers a variety of challenging open-water events across Tasmania, ranging from river swims to ocean crossings and freshwater lake challenges.
Each swim is designed as a personal test of endurance, strength, and connection to some of Australia’s most beautiful and wild waterways. Whether navigating the flow of the Derwent River or tackling the cold, fresh waters of the West Coast, these events provide a unique experience for open-water swimmers looking to push their limits in a stunning natural environment.
