What's included
Feed stations: There will be a feed station at Llangower beach for the 9km swimmers and food will be available at the finish line for all finishers. We will not be handing out bottles of water at the finish line in a bid to reduce plastic waste and help care for the environment. Water will of course be available at feed stations and the finish line but you will need to have your own bottle or cup. With this in mind please make sure you have a bottle/water in your bag waiting for you at the bag drop.
