It was in January, 2022 that the Bruny Wild Swimmers held their first swim. To mark the anniversary of that first dip, the Bruny Wild Swimmers have now held two Club to Pub swims on the 26th January. For the 2025 event, we have moved the date back a little to 8th February, 2025 to take advantage of we hope more settled weather and less crowds of the Australia Day holiday period. The swim will take place at Alonnah and all are welcome to come along and have a go. (If the weather is unsuitable on the Alonnah side, the swim location will switch to Adventure Bay.)
We'll have 2 courses with the longer swim (1500m) starting at the boat club, down to a turning mark off the pub and then back to the boat club finish. The shorter swim (700m) will start at the pub and finish at the boat club. If you are not a swimmer, come and join our water walkers who will be doing their thing on either the long or short course.
This is a community event so no matter whether you want to set the swimming course record or just bring the kids along and walk in the shallows, all are welcome.
Our major sponsor is Hotel Bruny who will be providing event swim caps to the first 100 participants only. To get your swim cap, register your participation early using our online form.
