The distance of the race is 10 or 20 kilometres. The event categories for competitors are:
Solo
Duo - Relay teams of 2
Team - Relay teams of 4
Registrations open 1st November 2018 at 9am (WA Time) - Please be online to register at this time to avoid missing out!
Situated 75 kilometres from the town of Kununurra, Western Australia, Lake Argyle is located 40 kilometres from the Northern Territory Border and covers 980 square kilometres at normal water levels. Twenty-one times greater in size than Sydney Harbour, Lake Argyle can increase to over 40 times the size of Sydney Harbour when in flood. Long since recognised as one of the most spectacular places to visit in Australia, the Lake Argyle Swim provides experienced swimmers with an unsurpassed outback adventure.
Clean freshwater awaits all solo, duo or quad teams, no sharks, bluebottles, ocean rips or chafing, just a very pleasant 22 - 26 degrees in 980 square kilometres of lake to enjoy.

Congratulations to all 2018 Lake Argyle Swim Participants!
A record number of swimmers completed the 2018 Swim in good conditions on Saturday 5th May. The 20km event got underway at 8:00am with some small swell early. Conditions improved throughout the day, as the 10km field started at 10:00am. Water and air temperature was slightly higher than last year, with times being 15 minutes slower than last year and no course records being set in 2018. Participants, family and friends enjoyed a fantastic Gala Presentation Dinner Saturday night at the Resort, with Mick Collis (Australian Sudoku legend) entertaining the crowed and the band playing late into the night. The Junior Swim was well supported on Sunday morning. First across the line in 2018 was 10km Duo, "Team Petty". First 20km solo was Jess Evans from Queensland in 5:28:34. Full provisional results are available below. |
