The 2026 Cooly Classic is set at the world-famous beaches on this iconic point-to-point course.
Your Start line, Snapper Rocks, is one of the world’s most famous surf breaks. Then, your course is a straight line to Kirra Beach, passing Rainbow Bay, Greenmount and Coolangatta Beaches as you swim.
There are four distances, from 1km to 5km, but it’s always the 2.0km Cooly Classic from Snapper Rocks to Kirra Beach which attracts the masses.
Regardless of which distance you choose, the crystal clear waters of Southern Gold Coast are waiting for every swimmer.
When you nominate MIA as your charity of choice, funds raised support our life-saving melanoma research, so we can reach our mission of zero deaths from melanoma.
