Open water swimming — UltraSwim 33.3

The Top Result of UltraSwim 333

It is the most consistent feedback from the 200 individual swimmers who have already competed in an UltraSwim 33.3 so far...

An Epic Adventure Swim Race™, but so much more than just a race...

  • Incredible diversity - swimmers of 43 nationalities entered to date
  • Inclusive - from self-confessed 'turtles' aiming just to finish inside the 2km/h cutoff, to...
  • to 'dolphins' out there competing whether its to win or not
  • Many adaptive athletes for whom swimming is their solace
  • And a majority of passionate swimmers just looking to challenge themselves

Some of the diversity within our amazing UltraSwim 33.3 family already...

AGE: From 15 to 75 years of age (with a median of 50 so far)

GENDER: 50/50 female/male

NATIONALITY: 43 different cultural backgrounds, from all 5 continents - South Africa to Singapore, Brazil to Britain, Albania to Australia, USA to Ukraine.

PACE: from 2km/h to 4.5km/h - every finisher is a winner at UltraSwim 33.3

ADAPTIVE ATHLETES WELCOME: successful Finishers include amputees, wheelchair bound and other severe disabilities - swimming is a sport that literally levels the playing field and we embrace that fully in our support. Water starts/finishes = no running up the beach to finish a 33.3!

BUDGET: whilst this is unashamedly a premium event, centred around a 5* hotel offering and professional support, we have packages for everyone, and discounts for groups.

UNCERTAIN FUTURE: our flexible rollover policy allows those with complex professional lives to reserve early in the knowledge they can keep their spot if their work/life changes

TIME POOR: long weekend format to minimise your time away, or instead profit from our amazing locations and turn it into a week's holiday

WE CARE ABOUT THE PARTNERS: nearly half our swimmers now bring a non-competing partner, and we've made a special F3 (Friends, Family, Fans) package to make sure they feel included enough (without the early alarm clock call!), but not bored by watching swimmers!
