Overview

The swim has a capacity of 360 and there here two categories, Fin Swim & Swim. The vast majority of competitors now Just Swim unaided, but if you fancy giving the Fin Swim a go, you can wear a pair of fins of your choice to speed your way to finish. Wetsuits are compulsory for all competitors. We’ll take you by coach to the start, drop you off at high tide and you make your way back to Shoreham-by-Sea on the tide. You’ll have to negotiate the sandbanks & bridges for the quickest route, we guarantee some of you will run aground! The closer you get to Shoreham the tide will pick up through the sandbanks and mussel beds to push you all the way to the finish line. Competitors will receive a kit backpack, silicone swim cap and Protein Balls. Shoreham town centre is conveniently located across the bridge with plenty of bars and restaurants along the river for that perfect post race drink or meal; we might even join you!
