Safety First

Safety is our top priority, with Redcliffe Peninsula Surf Life Saving lifeguards patrolling IRBs, jet skis, and rescue boards.

Key rules include:

Mandatory swim cap and pre-race briefing attendance.

• No wetsuits or buoyancy-aid devices. Goggles, event swim cap, nose clip and earplugs are allowed.

• Age limits: 1 km 12+; 2.5 km 14+; 5 km 16+ (at event date).

• Signal for help by raising one arm or rolling onto your back.

• If swim officials signal you to exit the water (by whistle or horn), you must leave the water immediately.

• Follow the prescribed course to avoid disqualification.

• Weather-related changes communicated promptly.

Swimmers assume ocean swimming risks and should be physically prepared. Lifeguards may remove participants if safety is compromised.
