Welcome to The Hat Head H2O Swim - 14 January 2024
The H2O Swim.
This year we aim to raise much needed funds for the Local Hat head Surf Club and The Heart of Courage Cancer programme fund raising group. They are trying to raise $100,000.00 for cancer programmes on the Mid North Coast. Last year’s event helped the surf club purchase rescue equipment and the Dune Care Group purchased materials for board walks.
What's new in 2024!
This year we will be once again swimming from the boat ramp to the Park, at the end of town tide assisted.
Your entry fee includes transport from registration at the event base in the park to the swim start at the boat ramp in a courtesy bus, “Heart of Courage” swim cap, Aussie lamb sausage sandwich and either a hot or cold drink on the day - plus free downloadable photos.
We have no teams event this year to save time on 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.
