Alternative Swims
In the event of bad weather, we will always aim to run an alternative swim for each event on a more sheltered course. We will let you know of any change the evening before the swim by email and on our website.
Cathedral Cove Swim
This is an idyllic swim through a marine reserve to the famous New Zealand landmark of Cathedral Cove, and then back to stunning Hahei beach(4km). Or enjoy the scenic walk there and swim the two kilometres back.
