Group Challenge
Join Us for an Epic Swim on Sunday, April 4th.
Gather your friends and get ready for a thrilling, unforgettable morning in the water. This swim has been thoughtfully designed to give you the perfect balance of challenge, camaraderie, and safety from start to finish.
Start Groups
To help everyone enjoy a smooth and comfortable swim, we’ve created four start groups, with the slower swimmers heading off first.
When you sign up, simply choose the group you feel best suits your pace. On the day, you’ll be placed in the group closest to your ability so that each pod can stay together comfortably.
Tow Floats
A tow float is mandatory for all swimmers.
If you need one, you can purchase it during registration and collect it at one of our practice swims or on event morning.
This Is a Group Swim — Not a Race
The heart of this event is connection, support, and completing the course together.
Each group will swim from yellow buoy to yellow buoy, spaced roughly 250m apart.
At every buoy, we’ll regroup, catch our breath, and make sure everyone is ready before moving on.
The full course is 3400m, with the shore always within 350m—close, safe, and reassuring.
Safety First
Your wellbeing is our top priority.
Each group will be accompanied by kayak support, and we’ll also have a dedicated safety boat on standby for any unexpected situations.
You can relax knowing you’re surrounded by experienced support every stroke of the way.

Weather & Postponement Policy
In the event that weather conditions require us to postpone the swim, an alternate date will be offered.
If you are unable to attend the rescheduled date, you will have the option to defer your entry to the following year.
Please note that refunds for other reasons — such as personal schedule conflicts or injury — cannot always be accommodated and will be assessed on a case‑by‑case basis. This is due to the significant costs involved in securing essential water safety support, first aid services, and event logistics.
We truly appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
Thank you for your continued support — we can’t wait to see you at our upcoming event, ready for an incredible day in the water.
New connections
PRACTICE SWIMS — Every Saturday, 7am, Takapuna North Beach
Strong relationships and meaningful connections enrich every part of our lives. They lift us up on the hard days, celebrate with us on the good ones, and remind us that we’re never doing this journey alone. Investing time in these bonds — with friends, family, teammates, and colleagues — brings joy, understanding, and a deep sense of belonging.
Our weekly Saturday 7am practice swim at Takapuna North Beach is the perfect place to build those connections while growing your confidence in the water. Whether you’re new to ocean swimming or preparing for your next big challenge, you’ll find support, encouragement, and plenty of friendly faces.
And if you need guidance, Kylie, our club coach, will be right there — always happy to help, answer questions, and support you at your pace.
Come along, be part of the energy, and start your weekend with purpose, connection, and a refreshing dip in the sea.
