Cadigal are proud major partners of the Cole Classic Ocean Swim for the third consecutive year.

Since its inception in 1983, the Cole Classic has grown into a celebrated tradition for water enthusiasts, attracting thousands of participants from around the globe each year. With a range of distances to choose from, the event caters to swimmers of all ages and abilities, from casual beachgoers to experienced athletes.

The Cole Classic is more than just a swim; it’s a celebration of community, wellness, and generosity. Participants have the unique opportunity to fundraise for the charities closest to their hearts, turning every stroke into a meaningful contribution towards social good.

In 2025, Team Cadigal are once again swimming in support of Aussie Ark – an organisation dedicated to protecting and preserving Australia’s unique and threatened wildlife, while creating a sustainable future for native species.

We’d love your support in helping us reach our fundraising target. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a meaningful impact. If you’re able to contribute, you can do so easily through our dedicated page here.

A big thank you to everyone who has generously donated so far.

The 2025 Cole Classic kicks off at Manly Beach on Sunday February 2, 2025 from 7am. 

Update January 2025: The 2025 Cole Classic is now sold out. Goodluck to all swimmers!
