Travel anywhere and I guarantee you’ll land back in Oz saying exactly that. In particular, Queensland’s beaches are particularly sensational – whether it’s surf, small breaks, or calm bays, you will find a beach to suit your ocean swimming needs.

That’s where Weekend Warrior Events come in – they have hand-picked Queensland’s best spots to hold their events: Mooloolaba, Caloundra, Coolangatta, and Tangalooma.

You’ll make friends. Ocean swimmers are a notoriously friendly bunch. Whether you train in a pool or at the beach, swimmers love nothing more than to have a chat, share a coffee, and plan on cracking a beer together after the next race. And the participants in ocean swimming come from all walks of life: this is not an exclusive sport. You don’t have to have a six figure salary or be an elite athlete.
