The Z Mile

The 101st River Z Mile

Established in 1924, the River Mile is one of the oldest open water swimming events still taking place in the World.

Sadly with SANParks custodians of the Sundays River, their per person fees levied against each swimmer no longer makes it feasible to host this event at the picturesque Cannonville.

With regret, we are forced to find an alternate venue for 2025 so we are moving this to a SEA MILE (Kings Beach to Hobie Beach) on Sunday 26th Jan 2025 where we will try and capture the fun, excitement and family involvement in one of the World's oldest swimming events!
