COVID-19 Update & Next Event
Despite heavy restrictions affecting events like ours, we are proud to have delivered the 2020 Christmas 10K Swim at Coogee Beach on Saturday 19 December 2020.
Event organisers worked closely with all key stakeholders to ensure the event was delivered in accordance with the relevant State COVID-19 Directives applicable at the time of the event. Unavoidably, some aspects of the event required some modifications being put in place but our focus was on compliance at all times and ensuring the safety of swimmers, volunteers and spectators remained our highest priority.
Even with a few subtle changes to the 2020 event, it still included the biggest and best Rottnest 10km qualifying swim on a large 3.4km circuit and with paddlers permitted on the entire course, as well as a 1-Lap Cruiser swim which gave us the chance to have some Christmas fun with community and club swimmers alike.
Entry places were limited in both races and fully sold out 2 weeks prior to race day.
We will continue to monitor Health WA Directives for events 500+ and address these in the planning of the 2021 event once we get started on that in the new year.
Event entries for the 2021 event are expected to open at the end of October 2021 - stay tuned to this website and the ever-popular Christmas 10K socials for full details when they are announced during 2021.

Practise with Your Paddler
Like no other 10km race in WA, all swimmers in the Fremantle Ports 10km Challenge have the option of swimming alongside their own personal support paddler for the entire course.
Great for moral support as well as the best opportunity for feeding practice, hydration and in-race communication with your paddler.
Take up Your Own Challenge
This year's event will still be offering a shorter race alternative for community and club swimmers so anyone can get set for a personal challenge over 1-lap of the 3.4km course.
Ideal for anyone wanting to step up from the traditional shorter races on the calendar. Why not take on a longer distance challenge before you take a break for the festivities of Christmas?!
