The Rottnest Channel Swim Association was inducted in the Class of 2010 by the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame as a Honoree Club & Organisation.

The Rottnest Channel Swim Association has organized over two decades of 19.7K solo and relay crossings of the Rottnest Channel on the western coast of Australia. Formed in 1989, its priorities are to observe and authenticate people who swim the Rottnest Channel, promote safety, advise and encourage swimmers wanting to make an attempt as well as gathering and preserving historical data from the crossings.

Nearly 25,000 individuals have been certified by the Rottnest Channel Swim Association to have swum the Rottnest Channel, one of the world’s top 100 open water swims, as solo and relay swimmers since 1956.
