With the GSS Pacific Season underway we’re pleased to announce the addition of a great new GSS Race in Australia!  The Wollongong Basin2Beach.

This unique race starts in a protected harbour in a deep water start off the harbour jetty.  Swimmers then head along the spectacular course that takes them through Wollongong Harbour around the boats for the first 600m, then into the open ocean.  Swimmers then head around to North Wollongong beach to finish on shore with a spectacular scene awaiting them.  The incredible North Beach in Wollongong is known locally as “Little Bondi” for how incredible the beach is.

Taking place on December 18th, the event is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season and enjoy some fun in the sun on a picture perfect beach.  The race takes place about an hour South of Sydney in Wollongong.  There are multiple distances offered including the premier 2km Basin2Beach race.  There’s also a 1km, 800m and a 400m.  The event also has plenty of prizes and giveaways to be won!  With multiple distances, a spectacular location and a great atmosphere there’s something for everyone from experienced vets to those new to the sport to kids too making this race a great one for the family!
