Important change! Our friends at Jetty to Jetty Swim are doing it differently in 2027!
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1EtStT2m36/

🔄🃏 UNO REVERSE! WE’RE FLIPPING THE COURSE AND THE DATE!

That’s right, we’re switching things up for the 2027 Coogee Jetty to Jetty Swim! 🌊

📅 NEW DATE: Sunday 28 February 2027
📍 Coogee Beach, WA
🏊‍♀️ NEW DIRECTION: We’re swimming the course in reverse!

Same iconic swim, same incredible community, but with a whole new twist!

We’re turning things around for 2027, giving swimmers a fresh take on the much-loved Jetty to Jetty course.

So update your calendars, tell your swim buddies and get ready to experience Jetty to Jetty from a different direction!

🐥 Daphne’s ready to turn things around - are you?

🧡 Jetty to Jetty - a place to feel good.
