Virtual Rottnest Channel Swim

The Rottnest Channel Swim Association conducts the Virtual Rottnest Channel Swim (VRCS) in various pools throughout the state. The 2010 Virtual Rottnest Channel Swim was held on Saturday, 20th February with an impressive 334 participants taking part in the event.

The VRCS is ideal for swimmers who:

• can’t attend the actual day;
• don’t wish to compete in the ocean but enjoy distance swimming;
• couldn’t get a boat for the 2010 WAtoday Rottnest Channel Swim; or
• missed the cutoff for entries for the 2010 WAtoday Rottnest Channel Swim

The results for the 2009 and 2010 Virtual Rottnest Channel Swim can be downloaded below.

Congratulations to all participants in this years swim, we hope you had an enjoyable day and all of us here at the Rottnest Channel Swim Association thank you for your support.
