Candice Falzon - Biography

Ironwoman

Professional Ironwoman and Surf Life Saver Candice Falzon may have conquered the ocean, but will she make waves with her singing abilities?

“Like a lot of children I grew up dreaming of being a rock star. It Takes Two will allow me to live my dream, at least for a couple of months.”

Candice was literally a beach babe, growing up minutes away from Maroubra Beach in Sydney. Her ensuing love of the water soon saw her parents subsequently enrol her in the local Nippers.

A natural runner, Candice also began swimming training. She combined these two talents by competing in Ironwoman challenges, winning her first state medal as an Under 13.

The same year, she was selected for the Uncle Toby’s Super Series Surf Life Savings Pro Circuit, becoming the youngest ever competitor to turn professional at the age of 14.

Candice went from strength-to-strength and, two years later, was crowned the NSW State Ironwoman Champion after winning four medals in both the board and Ironwoman events.

Candice also competed in the gruelling Coolangatta Gold in 2007 and in 2008 will be competing in the Kelloggs Nutri-grain Ironwoman series.

In her career to date, she has won 60 medals in the Sydney branch titles, over 10 at state titles and six Australian medals.

Candice is also a sought-after model and has been the face of Running Bare sportswear, Rival swimwear and Infiniti Fitness. Profiled in numerous national magazines, Candice appears regularly on television sports programs.

Candice Falzon’s chosen charity is BEYOND BLUE; a national, independent, not-for-profit organisation working to address issues associated with depression, anxiety and related substance misuse disorders in Australia.

“Beyond Blue raises awareness and assists with identifying the signs of depression. There are so many young people suffering in silence or taking their lives due to depression. It is important that they recognise that there are people who can help and that other people are in a similar situation.”
