About The Swims

Worth it for the Shirt

People swim for a lot of reasons and an additional reason to do the ShipWreck Coast Swims is the ability to wear these instantly collectable shirts all year round.

The theme on the 2026 t-shirt features penguins and an environmental message and is partly inspired by the 2015 Australian film titled ‘Oddball’. The movie ‘Oddball’ is based on a true story about a chicken farmer named Alan ‘Swampy’ Marsh and his Maremma sheepdog, Oddball, who protected a colony of little penguins from foxes on Middle Island in Warrnambool. Just like Oddball protected the colony of Little Penguins, we need to look after the ocean and protect their habitat.

The only way to ensure you snag one of these shirts is to register online and early!
