Participants can look forward to comprehensive support leading up to the event, including guidance for their swimming journey and a detailed race guide emailed two weeks prior. A unique feature allows free swimmer-to-swimmer transfers within the terms and conditions, offering flexibility.
On race day, swimmers will benefit from full event support from arrival to departure. All finishers will receive a bespoke event medal and a quality silicone swim hat. The event promises a fantastic atmosphere with community support, and prizes will be awarded to the top three men and women in each category.
Essential amenities and support on the day include an athlete help desk, a thorough briefing, a safe swimming environment managed by professionals, hydration points along the course and at the finish, and comprehensive medical support. Participants will also have access to results tables as they finish, free event photos for download, and free parking.
