Important Things to Note / Consider 

• Swimming in the sea deserves respect and you should train in the sea prior to entering any of our swimming events.
• Swimming events can be held in force 3 to 4 conditions, this creates a fair amount of chop, wind and swell for the swimmers. So ensure you experience similar conditions prior to entry.
• There will be safety cover on the swims that will attend to you if need be and to put you back on course if you stray off it. However this cover is not there to guide individuals around, you should be competent at sighting and composing yourself in deep water.
• Floats are optional as they are those that prefer them and those that don’t, plus floats are not always the best option in certain conditions such as stiff winds.
• Please Read our Postponed Events Policy
