A First Aid tent is on the beach near the Finish Gate.
Final results and swim times will be available on the website about an hour after each race. Occasionally we have to adjust provisional times if we find the wrong timing tag number was used, it didn’t operate correctly or the swimmer started in the wrong swim wave.
There will be an award presentation for each event about 20 minutes after the leading swimmers finish each race. Presentations for the 1.4k Open Division and the Raffle Draw is at about 12:15.
Random prizes will be drawn at each awards ceremony and during the morning.
All Open Water swimmers will be entered in the raffle. Your ticket number is the same as your swim registration number (on your arm). No separate ticket will be issued/ required. Kids in the Junior Dash are not included in the raffle but can buy a ticket on the day.
