Australia’s Largest Charity Ocean Swim event at the iconic Manly Beach - Sunday 1st February 2026.
02/06/2026
Thousands of people spend the Winter avoiding cold water, whilst these legends run straight into it!
The countdown is on, and we can’t wait for Ice Cold Classic 2026. Will you embrace the chill and join us? 🧊
Wetsuit Warrior or Lycra Legend? 🌊 🧊
Lycra Legends – you’re all in, no wetsuit, no fear, just pure grit (and a little bit of shock when you hit the water). Respect.
Wetsuit Warriors – warm, buoyant, and here to swim smart… because surviving is winning too.
No judgement either way… but we can definitely tell who felt it first 😉
So be honest – which one are you?
We are proud to say that all Ice Cold Classic charity funds raised will go to our Exclusive Charity Partner, 🍴 🌊 🧊
One Meals Mission is to provide healthy nutritious meals and a range of human services to the homeless, destitute, impoverished and underprivileged people in our community and to assist in advancing their well-being, outlook on life and prospects for future independence – and to do so with strong ethics and integrity. We are proud to support them. 🙌🏻💙

The learnings and operational initiatives introduced through Cole Classic are now helping shape the delivery of other events across the calendar, including our upcoming Ice Cold Classic.
From reducing single-use plastics and improving waste separation, to encouraging reusable hydration solutions and more environmentally conscious event operations, these sustainability practices are becoming embedded across event planning and delivery. By extending these initiatives into Ice Cold Classic and future events, the team is continuing to build a culture of ocean-friendly events that protect the waterways and coastlines that make these experiences possible.
