The swim will probably start IN the water waist deep for ALL events.

Swimmers have the choice of four race distances:

The 800m is ideal for those who are not experienced sea swimmers and novices who literally want to test the waters.

The 1.6km is a standard mile distance and very popular with swimmers who want to compare times.

The 3.2km is for experienced ocean swimmers who are looking to extend themselves.

The 5km distance is a official FINA-recognised open-water racing distance for swimmers looking for a challenge and aiming to test themselves against the best entrants.

We will be awarding prizes for top 3 males and females for each event only, as well as a prize for the youngest and oldest male and female.

All the remaining prizes will be distributed as SPOT prizes so you want to make sure not to miss out. There are many spot prizes available! There will also be an AUCTION again this year as well as a RAFFLE for entrants who have bought tickets for the lucky draw prizes.

The 5km cut off for half way (2.5km) is 1 hour, and the final swimmer will be asked to exit the water by 9:15am to allow us to be ready for prize giving by 9:30am.
