8th ANNUAL SOLSTICE SWIM
 
SUNDAY 22nd June 2025  
 
ALEXANDRA HEADLAND BEACH, QUEENSLAND
 
Presented by the Alexandra Headland Rotary Club and Alexandra Headland Surf Lifesaving Club
 
 
 
 
The 2025 Sunshine Coast Solstice Swim at Alexandra Headland Beach is the "fun and must do" community swim on the Sunshine Coast. 
 
Every year ocean swimming enthusiasts from near and far gather to swim their preferred swim distance under the watchful eyes of the Alex Surf lifesavers in IRB's and boards. 
 
It is the ONLY swim on the coast where every dollar raised is put back into the local community.
 
It's the swimming communities way of having fun and showing support for the many volunteer organisations on the coast who do such amazing work in DV, mental health, homelessness, and of the course cost of living. (Last year the swim paid for an Inclusive Kids "Fuel for School program")
 

There’s a few changes this year. Swimmers will have timing anklets and we’ve introduced a 500m swim for the kids or first timers to ocean swimming who want a gentle swim over a shorter distance.

And we’re continuing with the popular

  • 1km 
  • 3km
  • 5km swim distances. 
The amazing Alex Lifesavers will continue to chaperone swimmers and the folks at Mooloolaba Yacht Club are providing the oversize swim buoys as usual.
 
All swimmers will receive:
 
  • T-shirt
  • Cap
  • Fruit & drink after swim
  • Instant swim completion time
  • Position in male or female age group
For more information or questions, please check the FAQ's or email us.
