KIDS AQUA
Aquathon is a swim followed by a run and super fun!
#LetsGO!
‘Kids Aqua’ distance is just for kids 6*-12 years of age and draws our largest cheers. Hundreds take part and we go all out to make it a safe and fun experience.
*6 years requires parent/carer to swim with child at all at times.
Swim+run on your own, team style (one swimmer and one runner) and parents can tag along and help U10’s too.
All finishers receive a medal.
10-12’s year olds start with a 200m swim close to shore in Wollongong Harbour, followed by a flat 2k run along the scenic blue mile track. U10’s swim drops to a 120m with the same 2km run.
Fully supported by our awesome lifesavers, run marshals and volunteers.
Since 1999 thousands of kids have taken part, and with a focus on safety and fun you can too.
