The swim

The swim goes directly out from the bank and around a buoy about 50 metres into the dam. Expect a crush at the first and second buoys.

Water Quality

The water is relatively clean but not clear. Being a small dam, the water quality is easily affected by rainfall. This also has an effect on the volume of water in the dam. Layout and Facilities

StokeCity Wakepark is a smallish dam normally used for cable water skiing. There are a number of structures in the water. The facilities are good, with grass to sit on and trees for shade, permanent change rooms and ablution facilities, and a fully stocked tuck shop. Hot food and drinks are also available. Parking is available with a short walk to the swim. Being close to Johannesburg, the event draws a large crowd. Registration takes place close to the start area.

Event Administrator's Note

The recent changes to the course layout have greatly improved the event making for a much reduced crush at the start. Being so close to Johannesburg, this event attracts local residents who do not have to sacrifice an entire day for the swim.

Fast foods and refreshments on sale.

Your specially designed T-shirt, printed in full colour for the Makhulu Swim can be ordered for R50 each. It must be collected at registration.
