Description
Danger 1000 Ocean Swim is on again this year. The two day festival kicks off on the Friday night with a fun run at the Jan Juc Surf Lifesaving Club, Surf Club Road, Jan Juc. The events continue throughout Saturday with swim race options for the whole family. On Saturday the Danger 1000 Ocean Swim at Torquay Front beach occurs. Contrary to the name, the swim is one of the most protected and calm of the Victorian Ocean swim circuit and logistically a breeze for competitors. Spectators can enjoy being able to watch both the start and finish of each age group (wave) from the comfort of the grass in the natural amphitheatre at Torquay Front Beach - Cosy Corner. In its 15th year, this swim established itself early in the ocean swim craze and grew fast to be one of the biggest in the country. Renowned for its great prizes it has attracted some of Australia's best with Ironman, Ky Hurst, holding the record in the sizzling 8 minutes and 47 seconds. The events are conducted by Jan Juc Lifesaving Club and all proceeds will contribute to helping keep the beach safe. Amazingly, over 330 volunteers will be donating their time. This event runs in conjunction with the Bells Beach Bash a cliff run along the spectacular cliffs from Jan Juc to Bells Beach and back
