1. Can I swim around the Jetty?
This would be dependent upon your training and personal fitness.  No one can advise you on this.  There are Swim Training Programs available through our Resources menu option – please take advantage of the program to improve your training.

2. How far is the swim?
The main course is 3.6km, out to the end, around the Busselton Jetty and back to shore.
The short course is 1.0km, out and back on the west side of the jetty.

3. Can I use a swimming aid, ie wetsuit, flippers?
These are allowable but must be declared on the entry. If you swim with an aid, you will not be eligible for an award.

For the Malatesta Corporate Challenge, if a member of an organization uses a swim aid then that swimmers time cannot be used towards the “THREE FASTEST SWIMMERS” award for the 3.6km swim.
