The Rip Swim

The Rip Swim is a regular 3.2km swim between Point Nepean and Point Lonsdale for intermediate to advanced swimmers.

This open water swim crosses one of Australia's most treacherous stretches of water, known as 'The Rip', between the heads guarding the entry to Port Phillip Bay.

Rather than being an actual race/swim format - the event involves organising a group swim on a number of pre-specified dates. The swim is done in a team of 6, but each swimmer completes the entire distance.
