Qualification

Every 10km and 21km Solo swimmer must qualify to participate and this qualifying swim only needs to be done before event day, not before you enter.

Swimmers can complete their own qualifying swims, so a you do not need to enter an organised / competitive event.

21km qualification requirements:

• You must have completed an open water swim of 10km or greater in under 4 hours, within 12 months of the event date OR
• You must have completed an open water swim of 20km or greater within 24 months of the event date

10km qualification requirements:

• You must have completed an open water swim of 5km or greater in under 2 hours, within 12 months of the event date OR
• You must have completed an open water swim of 10km or greater within 24 months of the event date

Any organised swim with a distance that meets the above requirements can be used to meet the qualifying time.  It is your responsibility to check the cut-off times for any event you do participate in.

If you’d like to complete your own swim, we just need proof of your swim distance and time, EG from your Garmin (file link or screenshot).  This can be uploaded to your entry records on our EventPlus online registration system (once you have entered).

Please note, the events are in the open water and therefore only an qualifying swims in open water are eligible (not pools)
