Terrigal Surf Club will hold its annual 1km and 2km Ocean Swim on Easter Saturday (April 8), along with a new initiative, The Daffodil Dip, in partnership with Cancer Council NSW.
The 1km Ocean Swim will start at 9am, The Daffodil Dip at 9.30am and the 2km Swim will get underway as close to 10am as possible.
The Daffodil Dip will be a 400m swim out to Goldie, Terrigal’s well known yellow buoy, and back to shore.
The daffodil is recognised as the symbol of hope and all participants in the dip will receive a vintage yellow Daffodil Swim Cap as part of their registration.
Water safety measures will be in place to ensure all swimmers are looked after and swimmers who would like to stay closer to shore are welcome to register and swim in the shallows and participate in the “ocean of hope” with their daffodil cap.
The full $35 registration fee for the Daffodil Dip will be donated to Cancer Council NSW and its work to help ensure nobody on the Central Coast faces a cancer diagnosis alone.
The registration fees for the 1km and 2km Ocean swim start are $30, with funds raised from both swims to assist the Surf Club in purchasing and maintaining vital equipment.
Both the 1km Ocean Swim and 400m Daffodil Dip are ideal for open water swimmers of all abilities and ages, with the minimum age set at 10 years-old for the 1km and 2km swims.
Younger participants can join the Daffodil Dip if accompanied by an adult.
The 2km Ocean Swim is more challenging and offers a chance for more experienced swimmers to race against our Masters Athlete and multiple record holder Paul Lemmon.
This event is supported by Terrigal businesses Stone Real Estate, Skin Masters and Crowne Plaza and Breakers Wamberal.
