More than a training plan

Prepare with people who know the crossing.

The Rottnest Channel Swim is one of Australia’s most iconic open-water challenges—a 19.7 km crossing from Cottesloe Beach to Rottnest Island.

Successful preparation requires much more than increasing your swimming distance. You need a structured plan, efficient technique, open-water experience, a tested feeding strategy, mental strength, recovery knowledge and a clear event-day plan.

This program brings all these important elements together into one practical and easy-to-follow preparation system.
