With the GSS season heavy underway down in the Southern Hemisphere the Global Swim Series is proud to welcome the Morrison’s Wharf to Winery to the Series for the 2016-17 season.  This brings us up to 14 total Australian swims in the Global Swim Series, making it an exciting and competitive region for the Global Rankings.

The swim takes place a couple hours North on Melbourne in Echuca and the neighboring Moama.  Swim the 3km, current assisted, course in the mighty Murray River at Echuca.  Starting from the Iconic Port of Echuca Wharf, swimmers head downstream to Morrison’s Winery for an exciting finish full of cheering spectators.

Stay around at Morrison’s Winery after the swim as there will be live entertainment, face painting and bouncy castle for the kids.  A BBQ meal will be available for an afternoon of fun and celebration of the best that Echuca-Moama has to offer.

For those just looking for a bit of fun there is also a social category.  The current will have you there in the nick of time to enjoy a glass or two of the best that Morrison’s Winery has to offer!  There will be a BBQ lunch free of charge for competitors.  Family and friends can either choose from the BBQ menu or the a la carte menu will be available.

The race is hosted by the Echuca Triathlon Club and has been a great addition to the open water scene in Australia.  This race offers something a little different with an exciting and fast river swim!  The race takes place on January 15th, register now or check out the race page for more info.
