With some of the best beaches being on the Mornington Peninsula, why not make the most of the summer sunshine, beautiful beaches and your New Years resolution to get fit by entering a few of these great swim events.

The list runs in order of dates, and if you're really keen you could do one every week starting with:

Point Leo Swim Classic offers a gruelling 5km option or the more gentle 1200m or 400m nipper swim and a 4km beach run. Held on the 26th of December, it may be a good incentive to go light on the roast turkey. Entry costs $50 for 5km, $45 for 1200m, to register click here . Entries close Dec 21st.

Sorrento Bay Swim is on the 12th of January and attracts around 600 swimmers. There are 3 options with a 2km swim, 1.2km swim and junior swim. Entry for the 2km is $50 and entry on the day is an extra $10. You can register here .
