Event FAQs 

You don't have to swim or rally for the full duration of the event individually, but one member of each team must be in the pool or on court at all times during the event. For example, depending on your ability you might swim 200m, 1km or 10kms through-out the event or play for 13 minutes, 2 hours or on and off throughout the night.

The use of floatation or training devices are not permitted unless approved by MS.

A floatation device is defined as (but not limited to):

• Kick boards
• Swimming noodles
• Pull buoys
• Flippers
• Floaties
• Paddles

The use of a floatation device will be granted to people living with multiple sclerosis automatically. To gain permission for use of a floatation device, simply fill out the Floatation Device Application Form and someone from MS will be in touch.

Safety first. If you haven't been well in the lead up to the event we recommend checking in with your doctor. All event rules and safety requirements can be found in our Event Guide

The role of the Team Captain is to recruit team members; urge team members to encourage their friends, colleagues and family to get involved; roster the team through-out the 24/12 hours and motivate the team to fundraise in support of people living with multiple sclerosis.

There is no maximum number of team members.

We encourage you to recruit your friends, family and colleagues to get involved so you can roster team members through-out the 24/12 hours.

Each participant will need a separate email to register. If someone in your team does not have an email (eg. a child), please contact our Supporter Engagement Team

It is always best to bring your personal choice of nourishment to a swim. However, at most swims food by way of a self-service food table with basic food, BBQ or venue cafe is available. If participants have specific dietary requirements, we recommend they take this into consideration in your planning. Also remember if participating at night the cafe may be closed and only vending machines available.

If you don’t have a team, please register as an individual and we will find you a team to join. There are a number of teams who don't have 15 people and are eager for more!

It is the responsibility of the guardian(s) of participants under the age of 18, to ensure they are adequately supervised throughout the event.
