Course Layout & overview

The venue is situated between the historic  Sorrento “Baths” jetty and restaurant, opposite Nepean Highway, Sorrento and Sorrento Yacht Club

 

The course will be marked by buoys in a rectangular format, extending seaward, avoiding any moorings and sand-bars.

 

This part of Port Phillip Bay IS affected by tidal movement, but the swim has been designed to run with assistance of a “FLOOD”  or inward,  to “SLACK”  or  no tide, however due to a number of environmental conditions this may NOT be the case. Your swim preparation should therefore include some “resistance” training as the most lenient leg of the course WILL have some current in the face of the swimmer. The extent of this “resistance” will vary according to the above mentioned environmental conditions.

 

The Swim is, and will be, a challenge, and your preparation should include some trial swimming in the contest area.
