The NOWCA Swim is offered at Love Open Water venues throughout the summer swim season. It is free for NOWCA members and is a fun route into the sport for people new to the open water and also gives more experienced swimmers to test themselves under 'race conditions'.
The Swim is 400m and you can choose from 3 Waves - Chill / Challenge / Sprint (make sure you tick your preferred wave from the categories list when you enter so that you can be assigned to the correct wave).
All participants should be able to swim 400m without stopping
You will have 30 minutes to complete the 400m course so if you prefer a more leisurely 'swimble', be sure to choose the Chill wave.
** We generally only run the NOWCA Swim in warmer weather however if the water temperature does dip below 15 degrees, you must complete a Cold Water Induction.
