You can race not just for yourself, but as part of a team. When you register, simply select if you’re swimming solo or lining up with your crew.
Two team vibes – pick your style:
- Social Teams – All about fun, friendship, and giving it a go! Gather your workplace buddies, swim club mates, or group of friends and take on any event together.
- Performance Teams – Serious speed and bragging rights on the line! Perfect for club rivalries or anyone chasing the title of fastest team in the lake.
How it works:
- Teams need to swim the same distance. Your workplace or club can have multiple teams across different distances.
- When you register make sure your team name is entered identically for all team members.
- A team needs a minimum of 3 swimmers.
- The fastest 3 times in your team are averaged to determine your result (Performance Team)
- There is no extra entry fee. Everyone just enters individually, and your results automatically count towards your team.
So, rally your squad, lock in a name, and dive in – because Swim Ruataniwha isn’t just about individual glory, it’s about team work too!
