No - 'cos our timing folk don't arrive in the Bay until Sat arvo and we are then busy setting up the Check-in areas.
The Byron Bay Mitre 10 Mini Swim Check-in is on the Decking outside the Hall.
The Byron Bay Property Sales Ocean Swim Classic check-in is inside the Hall itself.
Times for these are in the RACE DAY section of our website.
Most certainly. Check-in to your regular age category; advise the starters what you are doing; swim the swim together; advise the finish line officials as to what you did. Enjoy !!
Some is kept aside to kick-start next year's swim but the majority goes to selected charities and local organisations. The biggest bite goes to the local Surf Lifesaving Club but we cover a range of Charitable groups like the Westpac Rescue Chopper, Salvo's, Camp Quality Men's and Women's Cancer support groups, the local Swimming club and Scout troop, Local Ambo's and St Johns Ambo's, Marine Rescue units, Early Childhood Intervention etc. We also give out donations after this money has been dibursed, mainly in one-off situations from proceeds of our weekly Saturday arvo raffles out at the Park Hotel in Suffolk Park which members are rostered to conduct and also proceeds from our weekly members swims.
The answer is Yes. We are a fun swim raising money for selected charities and local organisations.
If you choose to use wetties or fins or whatever, you will not be eligible for category prizes, that's all.
P.S. you times etc may well be found in the Assisted section of the Race Results; which are found in the NEWS section.
Enjoy !!
