Shark Island Swim Challenge

The Cronulla Shark Island Swim Challenge is an annual event of 2.3 km (1.4 mi), held at Cronulla Beach in Sydney, Australia.

History

The first Cronulla Shark Island Swim Challenge was held in October 1987. There was a medium swell and the water was choppy. There were only sixty-four competitors. The swim was 2.4 km (1.5 mi), from the beach shoreline out around Cronulla Point, around Shark Island and back to the beach. Long-distance swimmer David O'Brien was the inaugural winner.

gollark: If there was wide support for this slight craziness I guess Wolf Mall could get some internal network cables to move items without drones, and I could design inter-shop communication stuff.
gollark: That works too.
