Dis-Chem Sun City Swim

With the sun coming up earlier and more colour coming from the trees we can tell spring is on its’ way. This also means that the organisers are hard at work planning and getting things ready for this year’s Dis-Chem Sun City Swim to be held on Saturday 21 October 2017.

The 2017 Swim will be the 20^th Edition of this event, how exciting is this. Since the start of the event in 1998 it has grown from strength to strength. Some things have changed through the years with us as organisers doing all we can to ensure the success of the event each year.

We are grateful to have Dis-Chem and Sun City as our naming sponsors again this year and we will be announcing the other sponsors as we lead up to the event.

Entries for this year’s swim will be opening shortly. Remember to get your entries in before the closing date to ensure that you get your goodie bag. All schools that wish to do Bulk Entries can contact the Race Office and will be sent the relevant documents.

For the 3km swim, according to FINA rules swimmers should be over the age of 14 years to compete. If your child is under 14 and would like to do the 3km swim, please contact the race office and they will assist you with the entry. For the 600m Fun Swim, if your child is under 4 years old, please could you contact the race office for information regarding their entry. Please note that you will not be able to enter online if your child falls under either of these two age parameters.

Just like last year, registration will be inside the Sun City Resort on the Cabana Lawns, ONLY on Saturday 21 October, so remember to allow enough time to get to the resort, access the front gate and get to the Lawns before your swim. Unfortunately there is no accommodation available inside the Sun City Resort for the weekend of the swim.

If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact the Race Office via info@suncityswim.co.za or on 063 665 9706.
