Swimming NSW is excited to announce a new Teams Category at the 2024 State Age Open Water Championships!
The team, which will be part of the JX 2.5km and the State Age 5km races, will allow clubs to enter a team of four swimmers, either male or female, competing in each of those open water events.
At the conclusion of the race, the times of the four swimmers from each team will be combined, and the team with the fastest overall time will be declared the winner.
This initiative aims to foster camaraderie and encourage swimmers to support and motivate their teammates to participate in open water events, all while competing for the title of fastest Open Water club.
