The Noosa Summer Swim Festival being held this weekend has grown into one of Australia’s most iconic open water swimming events.
Each year, more than 2,500 swimmers, and about 5,000 enthusiastic supporters, flock to Noosa for a weekend packed with sunshine, surf, and unforgettable swims.
For passionate ocean swimmers, it’s a bucket-list experience, all set against the stunning backdrop of Noosa Main Beach.
The action kicks off on Saturday with two open water clinics. These are an ideal chance to fine-tune your technique, pick up expert advice from top-level coaches, and sneak in an extra swim before race day.
Sunday is all about the ocean swims, ranging from the 300m Junior Giants event to the big one: the Noosa 5.0. Swimmers of all levels take to the water, from eager first-timers to elite athletes and current Australian team members.
New for 2026 is a Knockout Sprint Relay – this one will be a blast whether you’re a participant or spectator.
