Big Bay Swim

The 2020 Big Bay Swim is on the Sunday 23rd of February with first wave in the water at 10:00am.

 

After 30 years of hosting the Big Bay Swim across the bay from Port Melbourne to Williamstown, the Rotary Club of Gellibrand has passed on the swim to the Williamstown Swimming and Life Saving Club.

 

The Williamstown Swimming and Life Saving Club and the Hobsons Bay City Council are proud to be the open water swimming partner for the IGLA Championships.

This year's Big Bay Swim will have two distances, 2.5km and 5km plus a Special BBS TEAMS event for the 2.5km swim.

Event Pricing

 

Big Bay Swim 2.5km for Teams

$85 (There is a $500 prize for teams :)

Big Bay Swim 2.5km

Teams of 4 people compete for a special "teams only" prize of $500 (prize money to be confirmed).  All 2.5km swimmers will have registered as individuals and can also win prizes as individuals.  The first three team members across the finish line will contribute their score to the team total.  The team with the lowest score wins.
e.g. Team 1 places 1st, 30th and 42nd for a total score of 73. Team 2 places 3rd, 11th and 50th for a total of 64.  Team 2 wins.
Teams are mixed gender teams.  All 2.5km swimmers start at the same time
