We want you be safe and enjoy your crossing. So, we will need you to do aa qualifying swim under our guidance. if you can't make it you must supply evidence to show you are ready to swim (3km with your entire team present, under 70minutes.)
We will supply a booking link for the qualifying swim after you have entered the event.
Wetsuits are optional (but not in the race)
The water temperature is likely to be about 17 degrees Celsius and you will need to be well-acclimatised to the cold if you choose to swim without a wetsuit. However, you are welcome to wear a wetsuit. Wetsuit swims are denoted with a small Asterix on the honour board.
