SOUTH HEAD PREPARATION

10km swim is called the Roughwater swim for its unpredictable surf conditions,
low water temperature and strong current around South Head.

Vladswim Program 

Since 2010, our Vladswim program has included a specific 12-week preparation for this swim. Louise Stevenson was the first Vladswim swimmer to complete the race and won it successfully! After her great swim, the popularity of our program increased with more new swimmers inspired to have a go. 

The preparation for the swim starts from February
