Busselton Jetty Swim, Western Australia’s most loved open water swim, returns on 7–8 February 2026.
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.
