By accident I discovered this swim - on 2 January 2012, on the back of three return swims to Rangitoto three weeks in a row I wanted to add on a few more kilometers to the 10km Rangi return swim. Browns Island was the natural add-on. Then in 2012, I set off with my son on the kayak to swim what I measured as a 13km swim. The official distance is 15km, landing at the same spots I did on that first swim (refer swim description). This distance six years ago was a BIG swim, not so now. 

Still, the 15km distance is a step up from the 10km distance into ultra marathon swims. It is still a big swim and a huge effort to pin on your personal Resume of Life Achievements you can be proud of.

Let me Guide you. You can swim this anytime with your own guide and other swimmers following the original course. Or you let me guide you solo or duo. 

Fee $500.00
Solo or maximum of 3 swimmers

I supply your kayak plus personal guide, and I will put together a nice video for a beautiful memento of your swim. Use the Contact form below to send me a note, and lets start planning your Swim.
