Dive in to open water swimming in Tasmania

Your guide to swimming Tasmania's pristine lakes, wild rivers and rugged ocean coasts

Tasmania is made for wild swimming.

From turquoise bays and windswept beaches to alpine tarns, rainforest rivers and quiet inland lakes, Tasmania offers some of the most spectacular open water swimming on earth.

We're here to celebrate those places and to encourage more people to experience the joy of swimming outdoors.

Whether you're an experienced ocean swimmer or simply curious about your first cold-water dip, you’ll find inspiration, locations, safety advice and stories from around the island.​
