This annual swim, held among the swaying palms, lush tropical gardens and crystal waters of the Sun City resort, is set to kick off the 2008 - 2009 open water swimming season in grand style. Last year approximately 1300 competitors, their families and friends enjoyed a fun filled day at Sun City. Once again sponsors Telkom, Dis-Chem and Sun City have teamed up with support from USN, Voltaren and Entrytime.com to ensure that this swim remains the premier event on the local open water swimming calendar. The venue is surely the best equipped and most beautiful of any swim in South Africa and the water quality and safety standards are unsurpassed.
South Africa’s best loved swimmer, Natalie Du Toit is looking forward to participating in this year’s event and will be available to meet and sign autographs for her many fans. Natalie will have recently returned from the Olympics and Para Olympics in Beijing and may well have some exciting stories to share.
Swimmers at this year’s swim will have a choice of 3 distances – 3000m, 1500m and 600m with cash prizes totaling over R30,000. With a number of new categories introduced, goodie bags for all pre-entries, medals for all finishers, free entry into Sun City including Valley of the Waves, and many spot prizes up for grabs, all levels of swimmers from beginner to champion are given ample encouragement. As if that isn’t enough, competitors can enjoy the knowledge that they are contributing to several very worthy causes.
Beneficiaries from this year’s swim will include:
- Gauteng Life Saving Association
- Little Eden
