So anything between 5 and 20 minutes
Head must dip under water to qualify for the #bigbrainfreeze

If the weather allows - we will also do a 2km swim

No wetsuits allowed…but if you want to - then we cool like that - so wetsuits allowed

Kiddy friendly

1 mass start at 2pm
 
Less rushing, more enjoyment!

Hot chocolate afterwards sponsored by the amazing team from Rawson Properties Blouberg.

A little bit of common sense to prevail – obviously if you getting too cold – you get out. 

Every participant will get a unique medal. 

Done 100% at owners own risk.

Participants are also encouraged to bring something along that floats.

There will be some really cool lucky draws held at the Rawson gazebo at 2:45pm
