Feeders for the swimmers in the Epic Swim will be on a feeding boat at the far end of the course. These swimmers will be able to feed at 1.25km, 3.75km, 6.25km and 8.75km. The feed boat for the Epic swimmers will leave from the marina 8.15am sharp. Feeders should meet a SNZ staff member at the Chris Jolly kiosk at the marina no later than 8.05am to be taken to board and depart at 8.15am. If you are not there the boat will leave without you. Again a feeders tag will be given to all 10km swimmers when they collect their race packs and this will be required to gain access to the feeding boat. Feeders will be ferried back to the shore or via the feeding boat following the last swimmer passing the feeding boat.

It is your own responsibility to provide food and drinks for your swimmers. Food and drink bottles are not to be thrown to swimmers in the water, however Epic swimmers can be passed items over the side of the boat, or a feeding pole can be used. In the championship race feeding poles must be used in accordance with FINA Rules!

Feeders, make sure you have food for yourself, sunscreen, water, entertainment and some warm clothes!

CHECK CLEAN DRY (CCD)

All 10km swimmers will be required to bring their feeder equipment to registration, along with their wetsuits, to be CCD checked by DOC. Please ensure you follow the CDD instructions here.
