THE EVENT
Due to postponement from our normal Solstice date for 2020 Swim Solstice becomes Swim Equinox.
Swimmers will compete either solo, in pairs or teams of 3 to see who can complete the largest number of laps in the time given. The current number of laps will be displayed in the club house so supporters & team mates can see how the scores are progressing.
The swim will begin in daylight and finish by twilight so for the final hour of the swim glow sticks (provided) and tow float (not provided) will be required. Laps will be 1000m long for the first 2 hours and reduce to 500m for the final twilight hour.

THE COURSE
This year we have moved the event to the fantastic Thorpe Lakes. This gives us the opportunity to expand the event and make the most of this beautiful lake and facility.
The course consists of an anti clockwise loop. The course length is 1km for the first two hours and 500m for the last hour.
At the end of each loop you will select to either continue on for another lap or exit the water to take on food/drink or tag a teammate.
