    • All

    1. Read the swim rules

    This swim requires experienced and well-trained swimmers that have swum in around (17-19 deg) temperatures and a similar distance . A 6-hour qualifying swim (solo or in a known event) needs to be completed before attempting the Derwent River Big Swim. Click to review the swim rules.

    2. Contact a pilot

    The swim is a solo and can be done at any time but is scheduled according to temperature, weather, and tides on the day in conjunction with your pilot & date availability. The swim can be completed between November through to March. You will need to negotiate those conditions/dates with your pilot. You may enquire from the pilot panel or source your own pilot (however if you employ your own pilot, they would require an experienced person who knows the river)

    3. Complete the application form, waiver and make payment

    Once you have read the rules, contacted and selected your pilot, complete the application form and pay the administration fee. You will need to pay your registration fee prior to your swim otherwise your swim will not be ratified nor count towards the Australian Triple Crown. The fee covers the submission of your swim to be ratified. Refer to the rules for the refund policy
