How it works
The team that swims the most metres over the 12 hours wins. Changeovers are unlimited and are coordinated by each team's Captain.
Every participant must swim at least 50 metres (one length) and can enter the water as many times as they like, always in agreement with their Captain. Officials will record the lengths and authorise the changeovers during the race.
The teams
Up to 18 teams can take part, two per lane. Each team has from 20 to 50 members and a designated Captain who coordinates shifts and changeovers for the whole event.
No team? No problem: you can register individually and the organisers will assign you to an existing team. The Captain will contact you to plan the relay together.

Registration takes place on the official NextRace platform: every participant must fill in the online form and pay on the portal. The registration link is announced on our social channels and on www.swimmingtravel.com.
