International 2016

 

 

Dear Swimmers,

 

Normally we would be in the middle of getting ready for this year’s GADD.

Following a meeting with the local Wildlife Ranger last year however, we were asked to move the swim out of spring and early summer.

As it turns out the earliest suitable date is on Saturday 20th August 2016.

 

Here’s a summary of the organisational changes for 2016:

 

•             On-line entries are via the website and PayPal – no need to have a PayPal account. http://bit.ly/1Yz8FFU

•             Earlier start time of 18.00 hrs or 6pm.

•             Last year’s 3 lap or 7k retained, but pre-event vetting will apply.

•             Total maximum swim time of 195 mins.

•             Strict cut-off time of 45 mins at island slipway before starting final lap.

•             Possible new 4 lap or 9k event – strictly vetted and subject to adequate daylight.

•             9k swimmers will have to carry light sticks.

•             Same cut-off time will apply to 9k swim option.

•             A feeding station will be available off the slipway on the island.

 

The GADD is unsurpassed for scenery, safety and good swimming for all ages (over 12 years-of-age) and abilities.

Thanks to our combined efforts over the past 5 years we have raised a very substantial sum for BISRA.

We hope this won’t change because of the changed dates.

Please come in droves.
