Our The 36ONE Openwater Swim Series on Sunday 1st of March, ended taking place a day earlier, thanks to a very angry Atlantic Ocean topping out at 7000+ j/m2 wave energy. This is really, really bad for swimmers. Big wave surfers probably not so much...

On Saturday 28th of February, we got a substantially gentler 500 j/m2 vibe, and the 55 swimmers that managed this last minute diary switch, enjoyed the calm before the storm.

This is how we roll. Watch our Miler (1.6km) and MilePlus (3km) swimmers get ready to head off, on Saturday 28th of February.

📍Clifton 4th Beach, Cape Town


PS https://scienceinsights.org/what-is-the-energy-of-a-wave-and-how-is-it-measured/ explains:
..wave energy behaves like the energy in any oscillating system: the farther and faster something moves from its resting position, the more energy it takes to get there, and that scaling follows a square law rather than a simple doubling.

This is why a tsunami, despite looking like a modest swell in deep water, carries devastating energy. Its amplitude may only be a meter at the surface in the open ocean, but its wavelength stretches for hundreds of kilometers, meaning an enormous volume of water is in motion.

Something for everyone! 🏊‍♀️🌊
Our next 36ONE Openwater Swim Series event is on Sunday, March 29.

The 36ONE Clifton Mile Swim is this weekend. Formerly known as 1SOMS (1st Sunday of the Month Swim), it’s the first event in this season’s swimming calendar – and the first one brought to you by 36ONE Asset Management.

The event consists of three different swims to suit everyone from beginners to bosses. It’s all happening at Clifton 4th Beach on Sunday, 6 November.

• The half-hour 36ONE SplashDash, from 07h30 to 08h00, has been designed for beginners. It’s a short, guided swim to introduce newcomers to the basics of openwater and cold-water swimming.

• In the 45-minute 36ONE Lapper, from 08h00 to 08h45, swimmers of all levels will challenge themselves by completing as many laps as they can.

• And then the main event: The 36ONE Clifton Mile from 09h00 to 10h00. It has a moderate difficulty, with the route taking swimmers from Clifton 4th Beach to Moses Beach and back again.

Entries are open and will close at midnight on Friday 4 November, unless space runs out before then. These are very popular swims – don’t leave it to the last minute. Only a small number of tickets will be available on the day of the event itself.

The first 150 swimmers will receive a limited-edition complimentary swim cap. And there will be prizes and give-aways at the event.
