Our Open Water Swim Sessions for 2025-2026 season will commence on Friday 5 September 2025.

Swims are held at Cables Wake Park, Penrith and we aim to have sessions each Friday morning. To participate, you will need to register and pay for a swim pass online prior to attending. The online portal includes a participant waiver which must be read and accepted.
Remember:
- Passes cannot be purchased on the day.
- All abilities are welcome.
- Swim as far as you are comfortable with.
- Juniors 13 and above are welcome, however must be accompanied by an adult.
NOTE – Our Open Water Swims are not coached sessions. We do not provide swim instruction or stroke correction instruction.

2025-2026 Season Passes can be purchased here.
Please ensure you read the confirmation email that is sent to you once you have registered and paid for a Season Pass. It contains important information regarding access to Cables Wake Park for any Friday morning swims.
FACEBOOK EVENTS
Keep an eye out for Facebook events showing dates, location and time. If you will be attending a session, please ensure you click on ‘Going’ on each (relevant) event page, so we know how many people are coming. This helps us arrange the required spotters for the session
These events are only made possible with the help of volunteers, so if no-one is making use of the sessions, we will need to cancel them.
CABLES WAKE PARK
Entry is via the gate on the right-hand side of the building from 6.30am until 6.40am. Last entry will be at 6.40am to enable enough time to provide a safety briefing for each session.
SPOTTERS
We will need at least 2-3 people per week, to volunteer for “spotter” duty. If everyone volunteers to do it at least once over the course of the swimming season we should have it covered. Just advise us via the comments area if you can assist.
