Five Islands is a challenging Series of Swims and is not for beginners. You must be a competent Open Water swimmer to complete the five swims. 

The formula is Five swims in four days and a total of 27 kms. Add the 2km warm up swim on arrival and the total is 29kms. 

Swims are return swims to islands around Upolu the main island of Samoa. When we're not swimming, we will see some sights like the world famous To Sua trench, Paula cave Pools and a few waterfalls. 

This Series sits between Samoa Swim Series (August) and the Upolu-Savaii 22.3km swim (April) in difficulty. 

Swims

Five Swims in four days and 27kms of Open water racing. This is a great challenge that will test your swim fitness and endurance. Add the 2.2km warm up swim and that makes it 6 swims. ​

Accommodation & Fees

From running this series for five years now, the consensus from swimmers is for comfortable accommodation and staying put in one spot - that's the key to getting enough rest during the Series. We change accommodation once and only for one night during the series.
