The toughest Indian Ocean Swim
Algoa Bay - Nelson Mandela Bay
South Africa.

ARE YOU UP TO THE CHALLENGE ?

Three categories to choose from.

(1) ELITE SWIMMER - No seconds permitted for these swimmers. They'll start approximately 5min before others and will be eligible for any prize money on offer. 

(2) SOCIAL SWIMMER - These swimmers may have their own seconds during the event to help keep them company / guide them along the course and/or provide them with hydration. Social swimmers will not be entitled to any prize money on offer. 

(2) DISABLED / AIDED SWIMMER - These swimmers fall into the social category rules above AND may also swim using an aid (flippers, snorkel, etc) where necessary. These swimmers do not qualify for age category prizes.

NO category changes permitted after 07:00 on race morning.

All entrants will receive an Event Goody Bag & T-shirt which includes a branded silicone swim cap which must be worn at all times throughout the swim. Entrants after Monday 10th may have to get their t-shirts in the week AFTER the event.

Overall Trophies and Age group trophies will be up for grabs based on finishing time (irrespective of category) - results published will also reflect actual race time and not be divided into category (EG A social swimmer could be declared the overall winner of the Bellbuoy Challenge swim despite starting 5 min after the Elite swimmers).
