The popular Terrigal Ocean Swim Classic will return on Easter Saturday, April 19, with a vibrant and family friendly series of open water swims at Terrigal Beach.

With a history spanning more than 20 years, the iconic swim provides something for everyone, from beginners to seasoned swimmers.

In partnership with Cancer Council NSW, this year’s event will see the return of the Daffodil Dip, a special 400m fun swim designed to create a wave of hope for local cancer patients.

With ample water safety, it’s perfect for anyone wanting to try ocean swimming for the first time.

Participants can choose from the Daffodil Dip, for swimmers 10 years and older (or younger if accompanied by an adult), the 1 km swim or the more challenging 2km course.

As a north facing beach, Terrigal’s surf conditions are generally protected from dangerous conditions.

Terrigal Surf Life Saving President Richard Green said there will be plenty of experienced life savers from Terrigal Surf Life Saving club in the water, on boards and rescue craft, to ensure everyone is safe.

Whether you’re looking for a personal challenge, a family adventure or a day relaxing by the beach, grab your cap and goggles and join the fun.

The 1km and 2km swims are set around a buoys course format.

The Daffodil Dip is a 400-metre dip, paddle or swim around the Goldie daffodil buoy.

Non swimmers can just dip in the safety zone and still be part of the fun.
