Sri Chinmoy Lake Swims

The annual Sri Chinmoy Lake Swims offer 3 options: 500 m, 2.5 km and 5 km. The Sri Chinmoy Lake Swims will next be staged in February 2013 at Yarralumla Bay. Registration will open from 7 am, with races commencing from 8 am.

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.
