    Scott Rice and his team at Quantum Events have been creating and operating ocean swimming events for over 15 years, including the 7-event Banana Boat New Zealand Ocean Swim Series.

    Inspired by stunning scenery, exceptional swimming conditions and world-class hospitality, Ocean Swim Fiji first launched in 2018 and has grown year on year, now heading into its third swimcation in 2020. Fine-tuning the perfect balance of challenging yet rewarding ocean swims, incredible relaxation and a touch of local Fijian culture, Scott and his team are dedicated to quality, safety and delivering unforgettable experiences.

    Now an aspirational fixture on the calendar for avid open water swimmers around the globe, Ocean Swim Fiji sold out in it’s first two years.
