2500m Open Water Swim.

The 2500m Open Water event

The 2500m course is from the Middle Brighton Pier, anti-clockwise around a ‘box’ of buoys and then clockwise around the breakwater and Royal Brighton Yacht Club marina, finishing on the beach in front of the yacht club. See the course map below.

To allow boat access to the Yacht Club marina, all swimmers must pass the marina entrance (2,000 m from the start) by 10 am. Slow swimmers will be assisted back to the beach by the Lifesavers.

The pier, breakwater and the walkways provide an unrivalled spectator viewing area. Music and food stalls will be provided on the lawns adjoining the pier and baths.

The open water swims comprise male and female age groups and open divisions.

Swimmers will receive a colour-coded swim cap and a gear bag containing Nivea Sunscreen and a sports bar. At the finish, swimmers will receive a Bulk Nutrients sports drink or water, fruit and frozen yoghurt.

The on-line entry price includes a raffle ticket for a travel and accommodation package to Bali and secondary prizes (total value $4,000), for the first 1,000 swimmers in the Open Water events. Other random prizes for swimmers will be drawn during the day.

The first 1,000 entrants in the Open Water events will also receive a Swimland Great Australia Day Swim T Shirt
