Cooly Classic Ocean Swim 2026

Your Start line, Snapper Rocks, is one of the world’s most famous surf breaks. Then, your course is a straight line to Kirra Beach, passing Rainbow Bay, Greenmount and Coolangatta Beaches as you swim.

There are four distances, from 1km to 5km, but it’s always the 2.0km Cooly Classic from Snapper Rocks to Kirra Beach which attracts the masses.

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.
