Swimjunkie Challenge: CARAMOAN 2026, is 10 years this year! 

FOUR BEACH STOPS, THREE CORAL FIELDS, that make ONE AMAZING SWIM.

5Km swimmers swim from Gota Beach and hydrate on Lahos and Matukad Islands before returning to Gota to finish. The 10Km and 15Km swimmers do two and three loops respectively, with an extra hydration stop on a fourth beach tucked away in a beautiful cove. 

For the 4th year in a row, new swimmers can enjoy a 2Km distance, and discover the beauty of this swim course.

We've grown, but so have the Swimjunkies! So it is fitting that we introduce our very first 20Km Ultra Swim, each swimmer will have a dedicated marshal and one beach stop every 5 kilometers. 

Caramoan is the site of the original Survivor TV series and continues to be a destination for multiple franchises of the show.

Accommodations are booked exclusively on the registration site. Gota Village Resort is the location of the start and finish line. Hunongan Cove is a premium resort that is an 8 minute boat ride away, and is located along the swim course. Residencia de Salvacion, Isle de Belle, and Airusxander Resort are short 5minute boat rides from Gota and have housed Survivor teams when Gota is full.

EARLY REGISTRATION ONLINE:
May 29 - June 11 (for 5Km, 10Km, 15Km and 20Km distances)
June 30 (for 2Km distance)
 
A quick note: The reality of fuel, transportation, shipping, and operating costs that we've all been feeling - it will unfortunately be felt at reg this year. No one gets excited about reg fee increases but our commitment remains: Caramoan is a world-class openwater swim experience with a level of safety, organization, and care that you have to see to appreciate.
