On Sunday, February 1, participants in the world's biggest ocean swim, the Cole Classic, will dive into the waters off Manly for 1km, 2km, 5km, and - making its debut in 2026 - a brand-new 10km course. The event kicks off at Shelly Beach and concludes at the iconic Manly Beach, right in front of the Manly Life Saving Club.
Since the Manly Life Saving Club took over operation of this iconic event, the Cole Classic has also achieved a remarkable fundraising milestone, raising more than $1 million to support vital community causes.
