An Annual Event 2014 COMING SOON
For some the swim was a challenge, for others it was leaving the swim suits on the beach... but for those who joined us on 17th February the smiles and the fun will stay with them. Many had never been to Middle Head National Park, nor Cobblers Beach - we are certain many will return to enjoy the beautiful location again and again.
Spectacular Setting Join us in February 2014!!
Cobblers Beach at Middle Head, is the perfect setting for a short 900m skinny swim on a beautiful Sunday morning. The waterway is protected from the ocean swell and is the perfect location for new swimmers or those who have never swam the distance in open water.

National Park Funding
The Sydney Skinny was run as a fully ticketed event for swimmers and supporters. The Sydney Skinny has raised over $10,000 for the Foundational of NSW National Parks and Wildlife as we aim to strip Middle Head Precinct of Sydney Harbour National Park of their funding burdens. Monies raised by the event will go towards a rejuvination project for the area, which will provide greater access to the National Park for all people to enjoy this incredible part of Sydney coastline.
