On this thrilling day, swimmers will take on the Rottnest Channel, a feat that solidifies its place in the Australian Triple Crown of open water swimming. From the shores of Leighton Beach to the stunning Rottnest Island, participants can choose between two epic courses: a 19.7km direct crossing or the grueling 25km ultra-marathon, the longest open water swim in Australia.
Swimming for a Greater Cause
