Cosy Bay to Oudekraal and back. Cosy Bay is a SCUBA dive site, while Oudekraal Nature Reserve is part of the Table Mountain National Park. A marine reserve, it is really a very special location. When the visibility is good, you can easily see the flora and fauna on the seabed and in the kelp forests, and maybe spot a diver too! Spectators, bring binoculars and a pair of decent walking shoes! You can track your swimmer from Victoria Road, Cosy Bay car park or the Oudekraal Nature Reserve.
Camps Bay to Clifton is a picturesque route along the Atlantic Seaboard. If the visibility is good, participants will be able to see a variety of underwater secrets. Spectators can track the participants progress from Victoria Road, Camps Bay Beach, Maiden’s Cove car park, or the rocks at the bottom of the carpark at Clifton 4th Beach. A good pair of binoculars is recommended as is a good pair of walking shoes
Not a novice swim. The Atlantic Seaboard is pristine, but remember that it has a reputation. In summer, it’s the Cape of Good Hope, and in winter, it’s the Cape of Storms! We hope for the former, BUT we plan for the latter.
Route: Broken Baths to Bantry Bay and back. The route is intended to be heavy going ‘up-stream’ to Bantry Bay.
If the timing is right, it is down-stream at pace on the way back, leaving you with a sense of exhilaration and awe at the beauty of the coastline that only surfers ever get to see.
