Arla Great North Swim Run Event Guide

SWIM SECTIONS

All swims have clearly marked entry and exit points, with a bright orange flying banner. There will also be a marshal at the entry and exit.

Swim caps and goggles can be stashed in your wetsuit, or anywhere else you like, for the run sections. However, you will not be allowed entry into any swim section until you are clearly wearing your swim hat. You are welcome to wear your own hat for warmth.

Pull buoys and hand paddles are permitted but SwimRun competitors please do be careful during the mass start.

In Case of Difficulties: i.

The majority of Swims track shorelines, so please only go as deep as required to swim comfortably. This means that if you are in difficulty, you will only need to come in a short distance to a depth where you can stand up. This of course isn’t possible on all swims. ii. There will be safety cover on all the swim sections. If you get into difficulty roll on your back and raise one hand and they will come to your assistance.
