Event History

Start of the raceThe Sun City Swim was started in 1998 by a committee of enthusiastic open water swimmers from Gauteng Masters Swimming. Many of the members of the 1st organizing committee are still involved today in organizing and helping to run the event. The 1st swim attracted 173 swimmers swimming 2 laps of a 750m course on a sunny Saturday afternoon in October.

Sun City have remained committed since 1998 - with 2017 being the 20th Edition of the swim. Each year the event has grown in numbers and we hope it continues to grow throughout the years to come.
