Every night 150m, 400m, 730m, 1300m, 2000m and 2500m (for events 3 & 5) options are available. The Longest distance each night counts toward series points. You must be able to complete a 2000m swim within 45 minutes to enter that event.

Course Maps

Do you want to really challenge yourself in 21/22?

For events 3 and 5 we are introducing a longer openwater swim event called the Pt. Jerningham swim. This will be a 2.5km out and back open water swim course (There will be no 2km swim course option on those nights)
Cost will be $35

You can choose your swim distance on the night, and even change during your event. And you can choose a half distance run. The 2000m swim is not available as a Swim Run option. Only the bold swim distance counts for points in the Series Champion Race.
