TEAM EVENTS

The team events are run over two distances and are open to all accepted ages (see below) and genders. It is for groups of two or more swimmers who would like to compete together in the same event. In this event we do not have places, rather it is designed for you to race with or compete against the other members of your team under the same current conditions.

To race together in the "Team 1.5km" please ensure you all nominate the same WAVE number (1 or 2). The "Team 500m" is only a single wave and so all people entering in this distance will swim together.
