COULD YOU BE IN OUR ‘OCEANS OF FAME’?
We’re continually impressed by the incredible dedication, passion and grit of our swimmers, especially those familiar faces who have swum in our Series for many years. To celebrate and recognise these long-swim-loyalists we’re introducing the brand new Oceans of Fame – it’s our take on a Hall of Fame!
Achievement milestones, based on the number of long swims* completed since the very beginning of the Series in 2006, lead to commemorative rewards and all Oceans of Fame members being featured in the honours board below and recognised in person at event prize givings.
Commemorative Rewards
- 25 Swims = Oceans of Fame ‘25 Swims’ Certificate + Swim Cap
- 50 Swims = Oceans of Fame ‘50 Swims’ Certificate + Swim Cap + Medallion
- 75 Swims = Oceans of Fame ‘75 Swims’ Certificate + Swim Cap + Medallion
- 100 Swims = Oceans of Fame ‘100 Swims’ Certificate + Swim Cap + Medallion
Pretty sure you’ve done more than 25 long swims with us? Check out the table below to find out how many you’ve done and what milestone you are fast approaching or have surpassed. We’ll be updating your swim counts throughout the Series!
*Long swim = Any long swim that has formed part of our Series Competition since the founding of the Series in 2006-2007.
