This year the Bicheno ‘Devil of a Swim’ will follow an exciting new course; from Waubs Bay clockwise around Diamond Island.
In previous years the course has taken swimmers anti-clockwise around the Island.

Swimmers will then be assessed for their capacity to continue the race around Diamond Island.
Cut-off time for this 2 kilometre checkpoint in the race will be 1 hour.
After circling the island swimmers will turn at a buoy on the island side of the sandbar and head straight back to the start/finish point at Waubs Bay.

Evacuation or emergency rescue: follow the instructions of water safety personnel, which may include watercraft pick-up or swimming to a designated location or shortest route to shore. Do not leave the get out point until you have been accounted for.

The 5km swim has a 1hr cut-off time at the Diamond Island Spit. Any swimmer not at the Spit under this time will be directed to the shore/or watercraft to finish the event.
There will be a checkpoint for swimmers to pass through a timing chute, this is your midpoint time and safety check-off

If a swimmer decides to withdraw during the race please indicate to the nearest SLSC watercraft and return to shore, notify the check-in desk of your withdrawal as soon as possible.
