Take the Plunge at the Ice Cold Classic – Sydney’s Boldest Winter Swim

Brace yourself for the chill and embrace the spirit of giving at the second swimming of the Ice Cold Classic, held on the Winter Solstice – 21 June 2026 – at Manly Beach. Hosted by Manly Life Saving Club, this heartwarming event invites ocean lovers and cold water adventurers to dive in for a cause.

Swim 1km in the cool winter sea, then warm up with a cup of hot soup at the finish line — just don’t forget to BYO mug! It’s a unique challenge designed to test your limits while giving back to the community.

More than just a swim, the Ice Cold Classic supports One Meal, a grassroots charity whose volunteers deliver over 20,000 meals every week to people in need — from families escaping domestic violence to those facing homelessness and illness.

Brought to you by the team behind the Cole Classic, this event is about courage, community, and compassion. Whether you're a seasoned winter swimmer or just up for something different, join us to challenge yourself, connect with others, and make a real impact.

Swim. Support. Be part of something bigger.
