Lake Whakatipu is home to one of New Zealand's most breathtaking open water swimming races

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. 

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.

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

We have spaced out our 3 start times so it is possible for intermediate and fast swimmers to complete the combo challenge.
