Cole Classic Swim

On Sunday, February 1, participants in the world's biggest ocean swim, the Cole Classic, will dive into the waters off Manly for 1km, 2km, 5km, and - making its debut in 2026 - a brand-new 10km course. The event kicks off at Shelly Beach and concludes at the iconic Manly Beach, right in front of the Manly Life Saving Club.

Help Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) supercharge brilliant life-saving research for all cancers and sign up to participate in this iconic event. Every dollar you raise will add up to millions of dollars of impact for the 2 in 5 Australians who will be diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85. By fundraising for ACRF, you'll be making sure the people you love don’t miss out on the cancer research they need.
