THE SWIM

There is a short run into the water from the beach. The course is rectangular and well-marked with buoys. The first leg is a swim through the surf and away from the beach. You swim in an anticlockwise direction making left-hand turns around easily sighted buoys. The Hobie Beach Pier marks the end-point, with a final short run up the beach to the finish line. The 3,000 metre swim consists of three-laps of the same rectangular course.




PRIZES AND GIVE-AWAYS

Gold, silver and bronze medals go to the top three finishers in each discipline. Gold medals are also presented to category winners. Medals are awarded to all finishers. There are also lucky draw prizes to be won. Overall series prizes are awarded on points accumulated by registered participants during the series.



WATER QUALITY

The surf is small on most days. The wind can come up in summer, making conditions choppy.
