The best swim race in New Zillund... Ay !
Marathon lake swimming is the Next Big Thing. This is the South Islands only 10km swim. Experience the sensation of going over the edge of the underwater cliff... Four times!
You'll love this! 1.2km. Swim to The Jetty at Ruby Island, then take a running leap off it to start the swim home! Best picture of the day. Don't trip...
