The iconic Cooly Classic is a huge annual swimming event at Coolangatta, which invites swimmers from all over the world for a whole day of thrilling ocean-swimming with phenomenal cash prizes, medals and trophies to be won.
Each year, seasoned swimmers and beachgoers from both Australia and around the world gather on Coolangatta Beach and surrounding locations Rainbow Bay and Kirra for a number of ocean-swim events that are as exciting to watch as they are to take part in. This year, the Cooly Classic Ocean Swim will be hosting its tenth annual event, which they will be celebrating with an unmissable new event: the Cooly 5.0!
Make sure to book our Southern Gold Coast holiday accommodation on Bilinga Beach, as just moments away the Cooly Classic will once again take over the surrounding coast with the famous 2km Cooly Classic, the Cooly 3.0 and the brand new Cooly 5.0 – an ambitious 5km swim that will involve 200 dedicated swimmers going head-to-head for $500 and the trophy signifying its first ever winner!
As well as the Cooly Classic, Cooly 3.0 and Cooly 5.0, other unmissable ocean-swims all set to go ahead will include the Cooly 1000 – a 1km course for casual swimmers – and the Junior Giants, a 1000m short course for kids.
After each event, there will be first, second and third place prizes to be awarded!
