Waitlist, Withdrawals, Changes & Refunds

Refund Policy: 1 October to 10 December

Full refunds, minus a $25 administration fee ($5 for the Kids Swim), are available only if requested in writing via email before 10 December.
These conditions apply to all refund requests, regardless of the situation.

Waitlist

3.6km Solo Swim & One Mile Swim to Shore.

  • On closure of the Ballot period, entries to these events will be allocated by random draw.
  • All entries that are unsuccessful in the Ballot will form the Waitlist (unless participants opt out of being on the Waitlist during the registration period).
  • You cannot be registered and/or waitlisted for more than one event (except for the 500m Swim). For example, you cannot be registered for the One Mile Swim to Shore while also being on the waitlist for the Solo Swim. Swimmers who violate this rule will be removed from all registrations and waitlists for the event.
