FAQs
What is included in my registration?
Registration includes entry to the event, a shirt, and a seat on the bus that takes participants from Pool to Pool. There is only 150 tickets to the event this year, and once this is exhausted you will not be able to register so be sure to register as soon as you can.
What should I bring on the day?
Bring your favourite Sunday swimmers/bathers/boardies/budgie smugglers, sun protection (including sunscreen/zinc, t-shirt/rash and vest/steamer and hat), towel(s) and any extra swimming accessories you can think of (goggles, swim caps, floaties, kick-boards, flippers) - be creative with your attire, you could win Best Outfit!
What happens if there are no more seats on the buses? Can I still participate?
You can still participate in the Great Ocean Pool Crawl. Register as you normally would through the Great Ocean Pool Crawl website, be sure to check in at the registration desk before you drive up to meet everyone at Coalcliff. Once we finish each pool, follow the buses to each pool.
What happens if it rains on the day?
Rain, hail, or shine – we go ahead! If it is looking like we are expecting some rain on the day, be sure to pack extra towels.
Is lunch included in the registration fee?
Lunch is not included in the registration fee. Be sure to bring snacks and food with you on the day if you wish. We will be heading back to Towradgi Beach Hotel for the after function where you can buy your own lunch.
Will I be swimming in the ocean?
You will be swimming in the 5 ocean pools – Coalcliff, Wombarra, Austinmer, Bulli & Towradgi.
What happens after we finish at the last pool?
We will return to the Towradgi Beach Hotel for lunch, prizes, an auction, raffle, and entertainment. Attendance is optional and this is a nice way to get together to celebrate the completion of the Great Ocean Pool Crawl 2024.
How do I collect donations?
You can share your fundraising page and your friends and family will be able to donate to your page by clicking the ‘donate’ button. For any cash donations, you can bring the money on the day and hand it in at the registration desk.
