What to Expect
The Great White Whitesands Swim is based at one of Pembrokeshires most iconic beaches. St Davids Head and St John’s head, which leads into the natorious Ramsey Sound surround the bay on either side. The Great White Swim will start and finish on the beach. You will do one lap come out of the water around a flag and back into the water for the second lap (Aussie exit).
The beach is a well known surf spot, so be prepared for a surf entrance and exit. The course layout and possible conditions are very similar to Ironman Wales and could be a good training swim. For Those who fancy a something smaller. There is the 1 lap option. This will also be timed and have the same competitor benefits.
This will be a challenging yet rewarding swim
