Earn your Christmas pudding this festive season

BY SWIMMERs,

FOR SWIMMERS

The experienced team behind the Christmas 10K just simply love swimming and organising events so they created this event for you, the swimming community. It's a cracker of a swim run by swimmers, for swimmers. Make sure you add the 2019 event to your calendar and we'll see you in December!

Qualify for your Rotto swim

Practise with your paddler

Take up your own challenge

The Fremantle Ports 10km Challenge is an approved qualifier for your Rottnest Channel or Port to Pub solo swim. Complete your qualifier in the perfect location at Coogee Beach and at the perfect time, a week before Christmas. Your official time will automatically be recognised by your designated event manager.

Swimmers in the Fremantle Ports 10km Challenge and the Alcoa 2-Lap Stretch (Solo) & Combo (Duo) events all have the option of swimming alongside their support paddler for the entire course, the only 10km swim in WA you can do this. Great for moral support as well as feeding practice.

​

The Christmas 10km offers something for everyone - so set yourself a challenge over 1-lap, 2-laps or 3-laps. Ideal for anyone wanting to step up from the shorter races on the calendar. Enjoy a longer distance challenge before you take a break for the festivities of Christmas!
