Deadly Swim FAQs
-
No. Deadly Swim is designed for confident swimmers and hybrid athletes rather than specialist swimmers. If you can swim 100m comfortably, recover under pressure and manage repeated efforts, you can race.
-
Deadly Swim is a special edition race format and venues may vary between:
indoor pools
open water lakes
sea swim locations
Each environment creates a unique race experience while keeping the same core format of 12 swims and 12 labours.
