COFFS OCEAN SWIM ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE

Coffs Ocean Swims are now recognised on the international stage, according to event organiser Village Sports.

The annual charity events are now part of the Global Swim Series, joining the likes of Canada, Greece and Brazil.

The next ocean swim will be hosted at Coffs Harbour’s Jetty Beach on April 3, with a 2 kilometre swim and junior races.

All proceeds from the event will go to local charities and groups including the Disabled Surfers Association, Coffs Coast Autism and local Surf Life Saving Clubs.
