OFFSHORE SWIM
November 14
Your mission
Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to jump off the boat in Bass Strait and swim to survive! We will have a mark for you very close to shore (just off Portsea back beach).Once you reach that, your mission is accomplished.
Choose your distance: 3km, 5km, 7kmWe want you to be able to customise your experience, so you can nominate your preferred distance.
Swim within a groupWe will have you within one of 3 groups so we can keep an eye on you. You do not have to stay right next to each other though.
Changes on the dayGiven the smaller size of our group, we will do our best to adapt to your needs on the day. You may choose to swim more, less, or take a short rest and we will do our utmost to help you do all of that.
Wetsuits or no-wetsuitsYou decide how you want to swim. We want you to be safe and enjoy the experience. You might even choose to do a little of both!

More about your adventure
We begin our day by meeting at the Sorrento pier - pictured. From there, the boat takes us out through the famous heads (“The Rip”) and into Bass Strait!
The journey by boat is certainly part of the experience. We will wind our way along, beneath the cliffs of the famous Millionaires walk, past the Portsea Pier and then along past the historic Point Nepean Park.
Once out in Bass Strait, the vast expanse of water will be ours to enjoy. You will jump off the boat at your set distance from the shore and being your epic journey.
