White sands and crystal clear water help to

Risk Warning pursuant to Civil Liability Act 2002 (section
5M)
Ocean swims are demanding and potentially dangerous events.
Risks include drowning, natural obstacles, man-made or
-controlled obstacles, and marine attack. The Swim takes
place in the open ocean. Swimmers enter at their own risk.
You should have a medical check prior to entry, and prepare
for the event by training. Water safety craft will patrol
the course for the duration of The Swim. If a swimmer feels
unable to proceed further in the swim, the attention of the
water safety personnel should be sought.
The Swim organisers cannot guarantee your safety. The Swim
organisers reserve the right to bring to shore by the water
patrol any entrants which they deem to be incapable of
competing further in the event. While in the competition
area - including the beach and water environments - entrants
must follow all directions of Warringah Council Lifeguards
and The Swim organiser’s officials and water safety
personnel.
