2008 COLE CLASSIC @ MANLY

Cole Classic @ Manly celebrating it's 25th year

January 10, 2008 at 1:45 pm

Twenty five years ago, 101 pioneering ocean-swimmers dived into the surf & swam out through the break, around a 2km course & back to the beach. To many of us in those early days, it was a daunting challenge, today it's no less so, but there are many more of us doing it and still enjoying it.

In this classic year, we have teamed up with charity net-worker Everyday Hero, which is exactly what you could be. Yep, when you swim the Cole Classic @ Manly this year you also have the opportunity to raise funds for causes you care about. Via online fundraising you can create your own webpage within minutes and start making a difference.

It's a new approach for us but ultimately we believe more enjoyable and more sustainable. Manly SL Club continues to be the major beneficiary of proceeds from the Cole Classic, but we will also be supporting the broader community.

Checkout our new categories, for families wishing to swim together see the 1K Back of the Pack category and for the more extreme swimmers see the 10K Team category.

Keep swimming, keep stroking, keep going.

Chris Cole.
