'The Whakatipu Legend'
Take the next step in your open water swimming journey.
Entries open 22nd August
Lake Whakatipu is home to one of New Zealand's most breathtaking open water swimming races
1km - The Bay Swim
A great event for those who can swim, but haven’t yet dipped their toes into open water swimming and are feeling a little unsure.
2km - The Beacon Swim
A beach start, you’ll run (paddle maybe) into the turquoise blue. A few gasps as the cold fills your wetsuit and you’re away around the 2km course.
4km Legend Swim
After a 30min vogage aboard the TSS Earnslaw Steamer Ship its your choice between a 1.5m or 3.5m leap before navigating back to Queenstown Bay
Triple Challenge
We have spaced out our 3 start times so it is possible for intermediate and fast swimmers to complete the combo challenge.
