Welcome to The Hat Head H2O Swim - January
The H2O swim.
This year we aim to raise much needed funds for the local surf club and the Hat Head Dune Care group, which just happens to be the oldest Dune Care group in Australia.
Last years event helped raise funds towards a new ATV for the Surf club and this year we hope to help out with rescue equipment for the Surf club and construction materials for the Dune Care Group to help maintain the many beach accesses and walking trails around Korogoro Creek.
What's new in 2023!
This year we will be swimming in the reverse direction from the boat ramp to the Park at the end of town. Don't worry we will still be swimming with the tide to make us all feel like champions.
Your entry fee includes, professional timing with an ankle chip, transport from registration at the event base in the park to the swim start at the boat ramp in a courtesy bus, graded swim cap and free downloadable photos from the day.
First place prizes for each division and random prize draws for those at the presentation.
At the finish area there will be a coffee van, community group demonstrations, BBQ stall from the Hat Head surf club, plenty of shade and parking.
