Busselton Jetty Swim
Annual open water 3.6km swim around the iconic Busselton Jetty.
Busselton Jetty Swim, Western Australia’s most loved open water swim, returns on 13–14 February 2027.
Best known for its signature 3.6km swim around the iconic Busselton Jetty – the Southern Hemisphere’s longest timber-piled jetty – the annual event attracts more than 5,000 participants of all ages and abilities to take on a variety of distances in the stunning turquoise waters of Geographe Bay.
Whether you’re attempting your first open water swim, chasing a personal best, or joining friends in a team, there’s a distance to suit. Alongside the 3.6km solo swim, options include the One Mile Swim to Shore, starting from the end of the Jetty; Simon’s 500m Shortcut Swim, which detours under the Jetty; team relays, and the dedicated Kids Swim for younger participants.
For those who prefer to stay dry, the weekend also offers plenty of entertainment and family-friendly activities, including the FREE Busselton Jetty Swim Sunset Concert on Saturday evening. And the experience doesn’t end at the finish line – extend your stay to enjoy the Margaret River Regions breathtaking beaches, endless outdoor adventures, and world-class food and wine.
