Wollongong Harbour.

ONLINE ENTRIES OPEN OCTOBER 2011!

.

Australia Day 2011 will come alive again as Australia's largest (and were pretty sure the Worlds!) largest and premier Aquathon takes to the scenic foreshore of Wollongong harbour yet again. 2011 brings the 13th edition of what is billed as 'splash n dash at the gong'. 2010 drew another fantastic record with over 1800 participants across all ages and standards, spectators lined three deep, a magic safe event and near $20,000 raised for charities and non for profits. We take our hat off to the amazing efforts of our fund raisers and set the challenge out to raise the bar another notch in 2011.

Details updated soon and in the meantime, get the woolies out but don't forget your togs and joggers too and start preparing for Aquathon 2011.
