2020 Event - COVID-19 Update
With the recent easing of restrictions, we are excited to confirm that plans are now underway for the Christmas 10K Swim to take place at Coogee Beach on Saturday 19 December 2020.
​
Event organisers are working closely with all key stakeholders to ensure the event is delivered in accordance with the relevant State COVID-19 Directives applicable at present and at the time of the event. Unavoidably, some aspects of the event planning may be impacted but our focus must be on compliance at all times and ensuring the safety of swimmers, volunteers and spectators remains our highest priority.
​
As a result, you might notice a few subtle changes to this year's event but it will still include 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 will give us the chance to have some Christmas fun with community and club swimmers alike.
​
Entry places are limited in both races.
​
Event entries are open from Monday 26 October 2020 at 7.00am (WST) with discounted Early Bird entries available for two weeks only.
Standard entries will be available from Monday 9 November 2020 onwards.
​
For budding RCS soloists, we've made it easy for you this year! C10K entries open on the same day as the RCS solo entries so make sure you lock Monday 26 October into your diaries so you don't miss out.

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?!
