Total distance course leg

There will be a large number of water safety personnel and craft on the water pre and during the swim. The water safety team is there to support you should you require. They will be resourced with an array of Rescue Boards, Surf Ski’s, Jet Skis and IRB’s. At any time should you require the assistance of water safety please raise one arm into the air and they will come to your aid. Water Safety will be wearing the traditional yellow and red surf lifesaving uniforms for easy identification. Should at any point an athlete decide to abandon the swim, they will be taken to one of the swim extraction points. From here they will be required to confirm their athlete number and be checked over by medical. It is then the athlete’s responsibility to walk back to the Information located at the Finish Line and hand in their timing chip to the Drop Out Clerk located at Information.
