Race Course

The swim is a point-to-point swim. The start is at Mahogany's West Beach (10 Mahogany Blvd SE) and finishes on Mahogany's Main Beach. Upon completion, athletes must run up onto shore to cross the timing mat under the finisher's arch. ​To get to the start, athletes will walk 10 minutes from Main Beach to West Beach - this path will be clearly marked with pin flags, arrows and have volunteers to make sure you do not get lost. There will be a bag drop (bag given at package pick up) that will be brought back to Main Beach upon completion of your swim.

Competitors must be 10 years old on race day. There is no maximum age.

You should be able to confidently swim 1500m in a pool.

​

A wetsuit is not essential; however, many participants choose to wear one for warmth and comfort. We strongly recommend that you wear a wetsuit.

​

Athletes must park at Main Beach and walk to 10 minutes to West Beach (10 Mahogany Blvd SE) for their start; this route/path will be well-marked and have volunteers. Athletes may also get dropped off at West Beach, but we ask that there is no parking in the West Beach parking lot to allow for traffic flow. Athletes will be given a bag that they may drop at West Beach before they start that will be delivered to Main Beach later on for collection.​
