The Swim
Participation in the series’ swims continues to grow in popularity as it gives all swimmers, from the age of 10 years, something for which to keep training during the so-called swimming off-season. The series also caters for all levels of less-competitive swimmers who participate simply because they enjoy the event or because swimming forms part of their fitness regimen and lifestyle choice.
In order to ensure the safety of all Dolphin Mile swimmers, teams of life guards from Marine Surf Life Saving Club are on duty throughout each event. 8 Dolphin Mile Surf Swim events are scheduled for 2012.
Starting in April, 8 events constituting the DOLPHIN MILE SURF SWIM SERIES will be held. A swimmer participating in any 6 of these 8 events will be considered to have completed the series and will be recognised in a suitable manner at the end of the series.
SERIES PRIZES in a variety of categories will be awarded after the final event of the series.

Sunday 15th April

As a safety requirement, the bright yellow Dolphin Mile Surf Swim Series swim caps MUST be worn by swimmers. The swim caps can be purchased at registration at a nominal cost.

We hope that all, swimmers and their families, will enjoy the 2012 Dolphin Mile Surf Swim events.
Durban's mild winter, with warm sunny days and low humidity, encourages people to take to the outdoors to enjoy the sunshine and balmy days. For this reason, many sporting organisations host events in Durban from April through to September. Swimming and aquatic sport remains a popular activity in the Durban winter and, as there are relatively few swimming events during these months, the Dolphin Mile Surf Swim series was founded to fill this gap. |  |
