Back for its 10th year, the iconic swims start at Rose Bay and follow the coastline giving participants stunning views to the Harbour Bridge.
The harbour provides predictable conditions for the open water first-timers and gives the competitive ones a chance to have a good crack at their PBs.
Our charity partner is the Dementia Research Community with all funds raised going directly to fund research.

FINISHERs TOWEL
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Sydney Harbour Splash, we commissioned Brendan Kerin to design a towel honouring the 10 clans of the Eora Nation, who are the traditional custodians of Sydney Harbour.
• The Cadigal, keepers of the saltwater coves, learned the rhythm of the tides and knew how to call the fish with song.
• The Wangal, living where the river bends, were given the gift of fertile soil and the duty to care for yam beds and freshwater streams.
• The Burramattagal, where Burra had rested, were the watchers of the great eel. They carried the wisdom of migration, knowing when to journey and when to stay.
• The Cammeraygal, strong and fierce, guarded the northern headlands and taught the young how to stand with courage.
• The Wallumedegal, the people of the snapper fish, were skilled fishers who shared their catch across clans.
• The Gweagal, keepers of the southern bays, held the deep knowledge of hunting with fire and caring for the bush.
• The Bidjigal, born of the rocks and ridges, learned to heal with plants and to watch over the high places.
• The Gadigal, close kin to Cadigal, held the songs of the harbour winds and the knowledge of how to travel safely across open waters.
• The Darug clans beyond, though inland, carried the secrets of stone and earth, keeping the stories of the ancient mountains.
• The Dharawal, further south, were singers of the sea, their voices echoing with the cries of whales and dolphins.
