- **Event Name**: Outrigger Whitsundays - 2026 SWIM TEST
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 17 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 am
- **Event Description**: ?‍♀️?? 2026 SWIM TEST – SAFETY FIRST, ALWAYS ?

As we get ready for an epic 2026 paddling season, here’s an important (and easy!) tick-the-box moment for all new and existing paddlers.

All Outrigger Whitsunday paddlers must complete an annual swim test as part of our safety requirements. This helps ensure everyone is confident and capable on the water, whether you’re brand new or a seasoned legend. ??


? SWIM TEST DETAILS
? Saturday 17th January
⏰ 5:00pm
? Airlie Beach Lagoon


?‍♂️ SWIM TEST REQUIREMENTS
✔ 400 metres swim
• Any style
• No time limit
• Go at your own pace

✔ 5 minutes treading water
• During this time, you’ll also put a life jacket on while in the water

That’s it! ?

This is not a race and not about speed or performance. It’s simply about safety, confidence, and being comfortable in the water.


? SUPPORTIVE &amp; RELAXED ENVIRONMENT
• Coaches and club members will be there to support you
• Everyone completes it at their own pace
• If you’re nervous, that's ok. You’re not alone, and we’ve got you

We do this every year because safety is our priority, and we want everyone to feel confident before we hit the water together. ??


? REMINDER:
✔ Swim Test +
✔ Huli (canoe flip) Test
are both required annually for all paddlers.
(Huli tests will be run during training sessions — details coming soon!)


? Get it done early, get it ticked off, and be ready to paddle from Day 1!
