Visit oceanswimfiji.com/swims/ to view our 2027 swim courses. Be ready to venture out into the clear blue waters and pass over coral reefs. Your swims will be epic!
Most of the swim field will be social/recreational swimmers. If you can swim the distance you have entered competently in the ocean, then you’ll be fine. See question below re cut-off times.
Everything is pretty relaxed in Fiji and so will we be, but if you’re still in the water swimming 45min after the start of the 1km and/or 2 hours after the start of the 3km we’ll need to give you a quick lift into our safety boat so you are nearer to the finish line to finish.
Qualified lifeguards will be watching over you while you swim. We also have trained medics on land to assist, you’re in great hands!
Wetsuits are optional – but we strongly suggest you won’t need it. The water temperature averages a minimum of 24 degrees at this time of year. Please note that people wearing wetsuits will be excluded from the age group or overall competition but will receive a finisher’s medal.
10 years for the 1km and 12 years for the 3km. All swimmers must be competent swimming their entered distance in the open water. Age is as at the start date of the event. Younger swimmers with exceptional ability may be accepted at the sole discretion of the Event Director Scott Rice.
See our travel terms and conditions page for full details.
Certainly! To ensure your group of friends or family members doesn’t miss out on this incredible swimcation adventure, one person can pay the deposits for all travelers in a single transaction. Here’s how it works:
- Group Payment: One person from the group will initiate the registration process and pay the deposits for all travelers in the party. This can be done in a single transaction, making it convenient and ensuring all spots are secured together.
- Group Questionnaire: The group head will be required to add details for all travelers, which includes fields for all group members’ names, passport details, email addresses, and other necessary information. Completing this questionnaire may take a little time, but it ensures that everyone in your group “gets in” together.
- Individual Event Info: After the group questionnaire has been completed, each individual traveler will receive subsequent emails with event-specific information and any further details needed for their participation.
By registering as a group and paying deposits together, you can guarantee that your entire group will enjoy the adventure together without the risk of spots running out.

What our Ocean Swim Fiji Swimmers say:
“Ocean Swim Fiji is a great way to combine my love of ocean swimming, as well as having a break together with my family. We came to the inaugural Ocean Swim Fiji in 2018 and are already signed up for 2021 – I can’t wait!”
“I loved the balance between swimming such amazing courses and relaxing poolside with a beer. It was the ultimate combination and the perfect break from everyday life.”
