Qualification

Every Solo swimmer must qualify to participate in SWIM THE GOLD COAST.

For 2021 we are relaxing these rules so that swimmers and their coaches can host their own qualifying swims.

The following minimum qualification requirements apply:

• 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

Any organised swim with a distance of 10km+ 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 your club or coach would like to set up an swim for it’s members, please contact us.  Club or private events are acceptable, providing a marked and measured open water course is offered and your time can be verified.

If you would like clarification on an event or the above requirements, please email World Series Swims at: Marathon@worldseriesswims.com.au
