The event offers a wetsuit-optional experience, with a professional water safety team supporting swimmers throughout the 5.25-mile course. Four feed stations are strategically placed along the route, providing water, energy drinks, and jelly babies to keep participants energized. Each swimmer receives a Chillswim Coniston silicone event swim hat, a medal, and a Chillswim Coniston event hoody upon completion. Additionally, age group trophies are awarded in both wetsuit and non-wetsuit categories. The entry fee is £109, which includes transport to the start and from the finish back to the race headquarters, free parking on race day, and all event amenities. For those interested in discounted charity entries, a fundraising target of £250 is required, with the entry fee reduced to £49. Please note that a mandatory tow float/dry bag is required for all participants, and the entry fee does not include the cost of the tow float.
