Torpedo SwimRun: OPS
20 Nov 2022 SAST (+02:00)
Clifton 4th beach
Details
This test of boundaries involves 12 transitions between water and air with a predicted 20 degree Celsius difference. Without the use of a wetsuit to shield the temperature shock, this sudden change in environmental conditions imposes a high physiological stress on the body resulting in a low probability of finishing.
All entrants are required to complete and pass an online Ocean test prior to racing. The test covers safety elements, emergency protocol and race rules. The questionnaire is by Christina Geromont who completed a thesis on SwimRun, and her paper "Swimrun race, athletes, safety and performance: A brief review" can be found here.
