The Port Nelson Summer Sea Swims are held each Thursday night at 6.15pm from the Nelson Yacht Club ramp on Wakefield Quay in Nelson, starting on Nov 19, 2020. The final competition night is on March 18, 2021.
Each night there will be a short and a long course. The short swim will generally be 200m-500m, while the long swim will be 800m-1500m. Exact distances will vary depending on conditions.
Given the nature of these events and the challenges of tide and wave conditions, it is important that all athletes feel comfortable and confident swimming 500m front crawl in open water, whilst making significant forward progress at all times. Adherence to this requirement will be at the sole discretion of the race director.
Races run by Nelson Triathlon & Multisport Club
Wednesday morning swims (weather dependant) at the new time of 10:00am until further notice. We'll meet at the yacht club parking lot and decide on the course on the day. Please RSVP to let others know you are coming.
Sunday morning sea swims are at 10:00am. Anyone keen is welcome to join in. We'll meet by the yacht club as usual and the swim courses will vary - depending on the tide and conditions. There is usually a short option for people with limited time and/or energy. RSVP (if you can) so others know who's coming, but spur of the moment is good too - the more the merrier! As always - swims are weather dependent.

Meet at the Tahuna Beach carpark by Rocks Rd, ready to swim at 9.30am. Head for first buoy, then on to circuit Fifeshire Rock (or choose a shorter option). High tide is at 9.04am, so it might be a stretch going north, but it'll be easier coming back.
