We are passionate about the work the Rangers do, enabling all visitors to the National Park the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful, historic area. We ask all Sydney Skinny participants to help us create a zero negative impact on the land by using public transport options, bring your own reusable water bottle and coffee keep-cups and reduce any use of non-natural, single use products.  

The Sydney Skinny swim is an adults only event. We would love the entire family to be a part of this joyous and special swim however we must prioritise the safety and security of all people attending this event, where possible. We understand that there are some families whom would like to swim with their children, however we cannot permit this for safety reasons. Everyone is welcome in the Festival area, for free, so you are welcome to bring a picnic blanket and enjoy the beautiful National Park location with your family.
