Cape Open Water

Cape Open Water Open Water Club meeting for swims at Clifton 4th beach on Saturday mornings September to April, from 6:30am - 9:30am

We are a growing band of open water enthusiasts of varying abilities. Our community is made up of local triathletes, social swimmers, multisport enthusiasts, and recognised competitive swimmers. The benefit of swimming with us is the support and additional safety of swimming with a group. We arrange for safety cover in the form of accompanying paddle crafts and beach walking observers - depending

on the conditions on the day. Each swimmer is expected to take responsibility for their own actions and always swim at their own risk. The club meets on Clifton 4th beach on Saturdays (September to April) – the swim course is open from 6:30am to 9:30am. A R20 donation covers the costs of the team setting up the swim course and for providing safety. In addition we facilitate open water skills clinics and 1km Time Trials.
