Virtual Challenge

Challenge yourself to swim 3.6km - anywhere

Enter Virtual Challenge

The Busselton Jetty Swim Virtual Challenge gives everyone the chance to take on the 3.6km Swim, wherever you are!

If you can’t get to Busselton, or you just prefer pools and fresh water, you can still challenge yourself to complete the 3.6km Solo Swim distance around the Jetty. 

Complete the 3.6km swim in one of two ways in a location of your choice:

  1. Smash it out – swim the whole distance around the Jetty in a single session  during the event weekend, 8 and 9 of February 2025, or on a date of your choice; OR
  2. Split it up – swim the equivalent of 3.6km over four weeks, by swimming smaller distances between 20th January and 16th February.

FREE Registration is open until 21 January 2025, or for $30 become a Virtual VIP and  receive a Busselton Jetty Swim swimming cap and finisher medal. Virtual VIP Registrations close on 10 January 2025.
