About this event

The Cooly Classic, presented by Milk & Co, is an ocean swim of up to 3km providing swimmers with a chance to take on the Coolangatta waters.

Challenge yourself to a swim past Snapper Rocks, Coolangatta and Kirra - some of the Gold Coast's prime beach strips. Test yourself in the 5km or 3km open water swims, or settle for a shorter distance in the 2km or 1km events.

Younger swimmers won't be forgotten either, with a junior event taking place to cater for the speedy youngsters! The course is a straight line from Snapper Rocks to Kirra Beach, passing Rainbow Bay, Greenmount and Coolangatta beaches along the way.
