I’m Going Long
The I’m Going Long swims are 2.6 km - 3.3 km ocean swims depending on each race of the New Zealand Ocean Swim Series. Wetsuits are recommended for buoyancy and warmth, but are not compulsory. There are 4 or 5 wave start groups and are split by the estimated time selected during the entry process. There is ‘novice only’ wave for swimmers who are new to the longer swims and would like a little more space and less pressure on the starting line.
