2027 Sorrento Bay Swim.

The 2027 Sorrento Bay Swim is the 21st edition of this open-water swim, hosted by Sorrento Surf Life Saving Club on Sunday, 17 January 2027. About 400 to 600 swimmers are expected across three courses in Port Phillip Bay, all finishing on the Sorrento Foreshore just west of The Baths: 600 m from Sorrento Beach for junior and novice swimmers (8+), 2,000 m from Sullivan Bay for experienced swimmers (12+), and 4,000 m from Camerons Bight, west of Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron, for elite swimmers (18+). The 4,000 m starts at 10:00 a.m., the 600 m at 10:15 a.m., and the 2,000 m at 10:55 a.m. Australian Eastern Daylight Time, with wave starts of up to 60 swimmers every five minutes near high tide. The morning is scheduled to wrap up around 12:30 p.m.

This is a major fundraiser for the volunteer-run club, supporting patrols on Sorrento Back Beach and a nipper program that teaches water safety and first aid. Registration stays on Race Roster. After the swim, participants will be able to find their photos here by selfie or bib.
