Rangitoto Swim

The course

Rangitoto Wharf to St Heliers Bay. Total distance 4.6km.

Details

This is one we’ve all been working towards. Swim just over 4½ km across the channel to be greeted by hundreds of supporters on the beach.

The Logistics

Swimmers may take only essentials to the Island as everything must be returned to the mainland and we have one coastguard RIB to carry it.

We suggest the most you should take is what you are swimming in plus sunscreen, wetsuit lube, drink(no glass bottles) and t shirt if necessary. Take a small plastic bag to put it in. We provide numbered rubbish bags at Rangitoto, one per 15 swimmers. Put your small bag in the rubbish bag corresponding to your start number and all will be transported to the finish

We will not allow luggage in excess of this on the ferry. Excess baggage must be surrendered prior to boarding the ferry and It will be transported directly to the finish.

If you have a valid reason for more luggage please contact us before the event.
