A scary stretch of water to swim over in the 5km event, but paddlers and boats will support swimmers. 1km and 2km event is swum around a triangular course in Waubs Bay, close to the shore, away from moored boats - also supported with water safety crew. These are very good swims to do as a ‘first’ ocean swim, or as a fitness challenge with a group. Along the way there are 3 places with items stashed, that need to be identified from the ‘10 things what‘s there?’ chart. This is an ocean swimming event with a difference:

• Supported Surf Life Saving Tasmania rescue services and members
• Participation and challenge focus.
• Random gifts for being in it (eg café vouchers, swim gear, Standup paddle board lessons, entry refund).
• Marine and coast education: what are we swimming in and over?
• Adventure swimming like orienteering navigating to 3 cache points.
• Identify items at the cache points
  • Food van and stall
  • Beach games and sandcastles
  • Beach swimming instructions for kids & their parents from 10 -10.45am
  • Raffle of a wetsuit and a crayfish
  • Optional social group body surfing session on Easter Monday 9am
