Cole Classic
The Cole Classic is an open-water swimming event, held annually at Manly in Sydney, Australia. Organisers publicise it as one of Australia's longest running ocean swims; historically it was viewed as one of the most prestigious open-water swims in Sydney. It was started by the Cole family in 1982, however is now organised by Fairfax Events (the same team behind the City2surf) for The Sydney Morning Herald, in conjunction with the Manly Life Saving Club. ()
The race takes place on the first Sunday in February. Originally staged at Bondi Beach, in 2007 it was relocated to Manly, on the northern side of Sydney Harbour. Coinciding with the move, a 1 km swim was added to the existing 2 km event, to encourage participation of novice swimmers. Both events now start from Shelly Beach and finish at Manly's Steyne Beach.
==Popularity==
Due to strong popular branding of both the swim and its location, the event is well-patronised by the general public, attracting upwards of 4,000 combined participants in the two race categories. ()
In 2010, Luane Rowe, 20, claimed the women's title in the 2 km event (26min) and came third overall, only beaten home by two men from the mixed elite starting group. Luane also came second in the 1 km race. Josh Beard, who was the second fastest male in 2010, claimed the 2010 Cole Classic men's trophy in a time of 24min. The oldest swimmer in the field in 2010 was 80-year-old John Kelso from Balgowlah who also won the 75-plus category.()
