Sri Chinmoy Lake Swims
The annual Sri Chinmoy Lake Swims offer 3 options: 500 m, 2.5 km and 5 km. The next Sri Chinmoy Lake Swims will be staged on Sunday 7 February 2010. Registration is open from 7.30am, and races start at 8.30am. Late entries will be accepted on the day.
UPDATE: VENUE IS NOW LAKE GINNINDERRA (AGAIN!) START WILL BE AT YERRA BEACH, JUST NORTH OF MACDERMOTT PLACE.
We apologise for any confusion caused by constantly changing venues.
We were all set to use Kambah Pool, but Thursday afternoon we discovered that one location on Lake Ginninderra was useable. Lake Ginninderra is a much better venue for a swim of this length, so we couldn't pass up the opportunity!

The Sri Chinmoy Lake Swims are intended as true tests of swimming ability and skill, for swimmers not wearing wetsuits. Hence Awards are presented only to those swimmers who complete the event without wearing a wetsuit. Swimmers may wear wetsuits if they desire, though they will not be eligible for Awards. Results of all finishers will be published on this website, with the wearers of wetsuits noted in a separate section.
In addition, each November the Sri Chinmoy National Capital Swim is staged along the full 9 km length of Lake Burley Briffin for solo swimmers and relay teams of 4.

5 km and 2.5 km Lake Swims
Male and Female Under 50: 1st place to 7th place
Male and Female 50 - 59: 1st place to 3rd place
