First started in 1939 and celebrating its 81st year, this event is one not to be missed!

Beginning at the Hamilton Gardens, swimmers will make their way down the picturesque Waikato river, under five iconic Hamilton bridges, ending at Ann Street Park for a photo-worthy finish through the chute.

The distance is 7.1km, but with the assistance of the river’s current it’s the equivalent of a 3km swim – achievable for most swimming abilities!
