Rottnest Swimmers start their countdown at HBF Stadium

1500 of Perth's best swimmers will attend the Karma Resorts Rottnest Channel Swim metro safety briefing at HBF Stadium on Saturday 4 Feb.

VenuesWest is a proud longtime sponsor of the Rottnest Swim. Swimmers will be able to get hold of the elusive event t-shirt on the night. There will also be many stall holders on site.

This year's event will run a little differently with activities commencing on the lawn from 3pm. Make sure to come down early for a sausage sizzle and even a sneaky icey pole from fellow sponsor Hit 92.9. VenuesWest will also have a team on site providing helpful fitness advice, special gym offers and BMI calculations.

Highly regarded worldwide and one of Western Australia’s iconic events, the Karma Resorts Rottnest Channel Swim is a 19.7km open water swim from Cottesloe Beach to Rottnest Island. Whether competing as a solo, duo or team, the Karma Resorts Rottnest Channel Swim is a ‘team’ event with all swimmers surrounded by a support network of paddlers, boat skippers and crew. The event, managed by the Rottnest Channel Swim Association, is held in February of each year and is Rottnest Island’s biggest day.

The swim takes place on Saturday 25 February. Best of luck to all involved.
