The Portsea Swim Classic is a 1.5km open water swim beginning at the Portsea Pier and finishing at the historic Quarantine Station in the Point Nepean National Park.

Commencing from Fisherman’s beach (accessible via the Cutting car park 200m west of Portsea Pier along Point Nepean Road), swimmers will head west around Police Point and along the coast to Jarman Oval ("Polo" Ground) at the historic Quarantine Station in the Point Nepean National Park. The Swim has been carefully timed to ensure it will be aided by the outgoing tide.

The swim distance is approximately 1,500m. While this is slightly longer than the old rectangular course around Portsea Pier, swimmers will have the benefit of the outgoing tide the whole way, with no hard slog back into the tide.
