Recognizing your accomplishments, no matter how small, is crucial for maintaining motivation and self-esteem. Bring a plate of food and join the celebration afterwards with spot prizes to celebrate.
Group Challenge
Join us on Sunday March 22nd for a thrilling and unforgettable swimming experience with your friends. This event has been carefully planned and organized for your utmost enjoyment and safety.
To ensure a smooth and comfortable swim, we have divided it into 4 start groups, with slower swimmers starting first. We kindly ask you to choose your preferred group when you sign up. Please be aware that you will be placed in the group closest to your pace on the day. This is to ensure the groups can comfortably stay together.
A tow float is mandatory and you can purchase one if you require it with your sign up. This can be collected at one of our practice swims, or on the day.
This is a group swim, not a race, where the focus is on camaraderie and completing the course together. Each group will swim between yellow buoys, approximately 250m apart. After each stretch, we will regroup and catch our breath before continuing to the next buoy. This will give everyone a chance to rest and stay together as a group. The total distance is 3400 meters. With the shore only ever 350 meters away.
For your safety, we will have kayaks accompanying each group throughout the swim. In addition, there will be a dedicated boat on standby for any possible emergencies. Our top priority is to provide a safe environment for you to fully enjoy this epic swim with your friends.

Weather Dependent
In the event that the weather forces us to postpone the swim, an alternate date will be offered. For those unable to attend on the rescheduled date, the opportunity to defer participation to the following year, will be made available. However, refunds due to other reasons, such as personal conflicts or injury cannot always be accommodated and will be issued on a case by case basis. This is primarily due to the significant costs associated with securing necessary water support and first aid services for the event. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you at our upcoming event.
