In perfect conditions of crystal-clear flat water, swimmers enjoyed the opportunity to take on the 1,6km challenge hosted by Aquamania at Bass Lake Adventures and afterwards submit their swimming times to the Aquelle Midmar Mile race organisers.
To make the day even more enticing, Head Swimming sponsored more than R50 000 worth of prizes for this event.
The action started from 09:00. A rolling start was in place to adhere to strict COVID-19 regulations under the watchful eyes of lifesavers and support crew on kayaks.
After completing their swim, participants were treated to Aquelle water, energy bars, a gift from Head Swimwear and a scrumptious burger from Bass Lake Adventures restaurant.
“There were also lucky draw prizes in the form of swimming costumes and goggles, which encouraged some of the swimmers to try and improve their swimming times with their new swimming kit,” says Conrad Lamont of Aquamania.
Swimmers and their families enjoyed a lovely day out, some having picnics on the waterfront property.
“We would like to thank all our sponsors, Aquelle, Bass Lake Adventures, Danmik Power Generation, Ellispark Lifesaving club (Meyerton Branch), Head Swimming, Lifesavers, Security Mecca and all our volunteers that made the day successful,” concluded Conrad.
