Nipper & Novice Swims

This year the Nipper and Novice Swims will involve a 400m ocean swim. Set to encourage nippers and patrons who are not yet confident enough to tackle the 1200m swim, the Nipper and Novice swims make for a great starting point in open water swimming. Male and female placegetters of the Nipper and Novice swims will receive a medal in each age group. Nipper age group categories are 8-U10, U12 and U14 year olds. Novice swim is for swimmers 14 – 70+.

Honeysuckle 4km Beach Run

The Honeysuckle Beach Run is an enthralling 4km race starting from the Point Leo SLSC clubhouse, heading towards Crunchy Point where competitors turn around to come back past the clubhouse and head towards Honeysuckle Point, where once again they will turn to finish in front of the clubhouse and hundreds of supporters! Male and female placegetters will receive a medal in each age category. Honeysuckle Beach Run age group categories are Nipper 8-U12, Junior U16 and Open 16+.
