Port to Park Open Water Swim
About the race
The Port to Park Open Water Swim is run by the South Melbourne Life Saving Club. 2027 marks the 20th year since the event began.
Since then, we have increased the number of swims, built a new Clubhouse and listened to feedback on the start and finish, which are now located in front of the Club, creating a fabulous atmosphere for all involved.
