KEY INFORMATION
IN THE WATER
If you need assistance while in the water, don’t panic. Tread water and raise one arm in the air. We have plenty of safety craft on the water and someone will reach you as quickly as possible. We hope you don’t need them, but there is a full medical team consisting of doctors, paramedics, and first aiders at the event. We have a huge team of water safety experts looking after you from the moment you enter the water, right until you finish and exit the water. For every 10 swimmers, there is one member of our water safety team looking after you, so you’re in very safe hands.
FINISH AREA
As you exit the water, you’ll make your way to the team of Great Swim crew who will check you out of the water by scanning your timing chip. Your timing chip will need to be removed from your ankle; and then returned to the collection buckets in the area. Our teams are there to help you. You’ll then make your way to collect your finishers’ goodies, which include your t-shirt, if you requested one when entering, your medal and other items. Please follow the t-shirt size signage so that you can collect a t-shirt that matches the size you selected when you entered the event.
