**Important Registration Info**
To help our volunteers and ensure a smooth race day, all swimmers must register online no later than the night before the event. On-the-day registration is time-consuming and we cannot guarantee entry for late arrivals. Priority will be given to those who have registered online.
Registering online is quick and easy. If you’re unsure whether you’ll make it, simply select “Pay at event” — that way, you won’t be charged unless you swim.
Given the nature of the event and the challenges of tide and wave conditions, it is important that all athletes feel comfortable and confident swimming 500m front crawl, whilst making significant forward progress at all times. Adherence to this requirement will be at the sole discretion of the race director.
Note: Nelson Triathlon Club has a NO REFUND policy on club events.
