Balmoral Swim April 3rd 2022 - 31st year - supporting the Childrens Cancer Institute

Announcement posted by Balmoral Swim 09 Feb 2022

All swimmers invited!

The Balmoral Swim is a favourite on everyone’s annual swim calendar. A unique open water swim event offering different distances all held within the beauty and safety of Sydney Harbour.  Whether you are new to ocean swimming or a seasoned veteran, there is a swim for you, making it a fun day for all.

This year the Balmoral Swim will return to its original format with all swimming events being run on one day.

Swim options are;

5km, 2.5km and 1km Ocean swims around the stunning bay of Balmoral.  

Schools Relay Challenge, 3 divisions, Senior, Intermediate and Junior. 4 Swimmers each swim 200m https://www.balmoralswim.com.au/page/73/schools-relay-challenge

Balmoral Team Challenge, 4 swimmers each swim 200m https://www.balmoralswim.com.au/page/74/balmoral-team-challenge

Junior Swim, Under 12yrs swim 200m  https://www.balmoralswim.com.au/page/72/200-meter-junior-swim


The event is in its 31st year and is organised by volunteers, most of whom are members of the Balmoral Beach Club. However, the entire local community gets behind the event to make it happen. From Mosman Council to HMAS Penguin, all supported by our generous sponsors;  

Gold - Audi Mosman,  URM 

Silver -  Dexus, Medlab

Bronze - Edney Ryan, Expiditit, Jeckra and MTA Energy 

 

The Balmoral Swim has raised more than $1,400,000 since 1990 and this year hopes to raise $350,000.

 

The Children’s Cancer Institute is the only independent medical research institute in Australia wholly dedicated to childhood cancer and every dollar received from the government and granting bodies to support direct research costs must be matched with a dollar raised by the community.

 

“By holding this event the Balmoral Swim is helping us undertake the medical research we know will uncover a cure for childhood cancer,” says Children’s Cancer Institute's Executive Director, Prof Michelle Haber.

 

“Fundraising events like the Balmoral Swim enable us to continue this critical research - and demonstrate what can be achieved when communities unite for a common cause.”
