ENTRY PROCESS - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
** You will need to know your swimming speed when signing up (minutes per km) **
Each crossing date allows for 30 swimmers in total.
This is made up of 5 teams of 6 swimmers in each team. Each swimmer completes the whole stretch.
Teams must stay together throughout the entire crossing.
OPTION 1
If you are an individual wanting to join a team, sign up and and we will put you in touch with the rest of your team so you can swim together before the day. (This is highly recommended!)
OPTION 2
If you have a team ready to go, simply create your team when you enter. Team price is fixed at $3300 - $550 per swimmer. If you do not reach 6 swimmers we may be able to put you in touch with others. (Please note that you may need to pay extra if you are not able to fill the team - read item 8 in our waiver)
Event Cancelation policy:
In the event of bad weather, the swim may be cancelled. In this case, we will notify you by 5pm the day before if possible. Your swim will then be scheduled for the next day. If the swim is cancelled again, we will endeavour to book you on another date of our choosing.
