Casey Seals Masters Swimming Club
Victorian Open Water Swimming Calendar
Welcome to the 2010-11 Casey Seals Open Water Swimming Calendar. This is the most comprehensive source of information for open water swimming events in Victoria each year.
The calendar lists the open water swimming events in Victoria for the 2010-2011 summer season. The races are held at various beaches around Port Phillip Bay, Westernport Bay and the Victorian ocean beaches from early December through to mid-March. There are even a couple of swims in rivers and lakes.
The calendar was compiled from various sources, including the Cousins Tours & Travel and Ocean Swims open water swimming calendars, the websites of the organisations running the swims and from information supplied by the organisers themselves.
For more information about the calendar, open water swim training or any of the Victorian swims, please email Greg Chaplin at ows@caseyseals.com.au.
