Rip Swim

VIC

Runs annually

The Rip is an infamous stretch of water in Victoria, Australia. Less people have swum it than the English Channel. Situated at the entrance to Port Phillip Bay, the gateway to Melbourne, it offers swimmers the chance to experience something truly unforgettable. The swim is 3.5km and begins in deep water at Point Nepean, by hopping in off a ferry.
