The 36ONE Viking Swim Challenge is more than just a swim, it's a race adventure.
Over a 5km distance, swimmers are grouped in waves in reverse-order, with the slowest swimmer first. Each wave has a bus-driver (pacesetter) whose job it is to shepherd swimmers safely to the finish line, so not only is it a great moderate-difficulty swimming challenge, but it is also a safe one.
There is also a meet-and-greet that takes place on the Thursday before the swim near the finish in Camps Bay, where participants can meet and get familiar with fellow swimmers.
