The Bilgola Big Swim is Round 1 in the first inaugural Pittwater Ocean Swim 

Series. There are five swims in the series - Bilgola, Newport (Jan 2), Avalon (Jan 

15), Mona Vale (Jan 22), and Palm-Whale (Jan 29). Do four of those five swims, 

and your name will go into a draw to win a trip to Hawaii to swim in the Waikiki 

Roughwater swim in September 2012. It's as easy and as egalitarian as that.
