The Australian Long Swims Database

This volunteer-driven initiative ensures that every swim is documented with integrity, preserving the accomplishments of Australian swimmers for future generations while celebrating the sport’s proud history. By maintaining a centralised and nationally recognised repository, the database safeguards legitimacy, consistency, and transparency in how swims are recorded and acknowledged.

The database showcases our nation’s iconic marathon events and solo achievements, highlighting the courage and endurance of Australian swimmers. It is relied upon by athletes, coaches, event organisers, media, and international partners as the definitive record of our sport.

The database contains:

• Ratified records of solo swims, relays, and organised race results.

• Verified details including distances, dates, swimmer profiles, and conditions.

• Historical swims and milestones dating back to the early 1970s.

By bringing visibility to these achievements, the database not only celebrates individual swimmers but also strengthens Australia’s standing in the global open water swimming community.

We encourage all swimmers, supporters, and community members to explore the Australian Long Swims Database. Search for your own swims, discover the achievements of fellow athletes, and learn about the extraordinary history of marathon swimming in Australia. The database is more than a record, it is a living archive of courage, endurance, and community that continues to grow with every new swim.
