URGENT NOTICE!!!

Hi All, due to the ABSA Run the City 10km running event that takes place through Durban on Sunday 12th July and the recently published race route with road closures, it has become obvious to us that it is not going to be possible for swimmers to get to Marine Surf Lifesaving Club easily!!

With this in mind we believe it is better to postpone Race # 6 - Sunday 12th July to one of our back up dates in August 2026!!

We apologize for any inconvenience caused and look forward to seeing you at the next swim Race # 7 - Sunday 19th July 2026!!

Hi All, after much deliberation we have had to make the tough decision to postpone Race # 4 on Sunday 21st June!!
There is a fairly brisk North Easterly wind predicted to come through at lunchtime on Saturday and will blow through Sunday which will make conditions unfavorable to swim in as well as the probable appearance of Blue Bottles. Many swimmers travel from long distances and it was felt it better to inform everyone earlier.
All entries will be credited to any of the remaining swim’s including the back up dates.
Apologies for the inconvenience, but as you are aware safety of our swimmers is of upmost importance.
