The Swim
Starting from Myrtleville Beach, you'll swim south towards Fountainstown, hugging the stunning sea cliff coastline. This 4km route treats you to breathtaking views of towering cliffs rising from the water, with the feeling of truly remote coastal swimming.
The highlight comes when you round the headland. Here, the disconnect from the land is profound — you're out in open water where currents can be at their strongest. This is where you feel the full power of the Atlantic, the swell rolling beneath you, and a real sense of adventure as you navigate the changing conditions and make your way around the point.
It's a swim that builds confidence and demands respect for the ocean. Fully guided with kayak and safety boat support throughout.
