Point Leo Boxing Day Swim Classic
The Point Leo Swim Classic is an ocean swim event hosted by Point Leo Surf Life Saving Club at Point Leo Beach on Boxing Day, 26 December 2026. The program includes multiple race options held along coastal courses with at least one leg that may be up to 600 metres long, depending on conditions.
Distances offered:
- 1200 m Point Leo Swim Classic
- 2.5 km Balnarring & District Community Bank Challenge
- 400 m Nipper and Novice swims
- 4 km Honeysuckle Beach Run
The 2.5 km Challenge follows the same course as the 1200 m swim and comprises two laps; a cutoff time of 1.5 hours will be enforced and swimmers may be pulled from the water if the cutoff is reached. The 400 m Nipper swim has age group categories for 8-U10, U12 and U14; the Novice swim is open to ages 14 and up. The 1200 m Classic uses category waves and lists age categories from Junior Cadet through Heros (70+). The 4 km beach run has Nipper, Junior Cadet, Senior Cadet and Open categories with medals for male and female place-getters in each age group.
Entry and payment are via Race Roster until entries close on the day. Entries are non-transferable and non-refundable. A complimentary t-shirt is provided while stocks last, excluding those only competing in the Nipper/Novice swim. There is no public transport to the beach. In unsafe weather the races may be modified, rescheduled, cancelled, or run virtually at the race director's discretion. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
