Fees:
$8500 per solo; $7000 for 25 years-old and under; $4250 per swimmer (maximum 2 swimmers) tandem.
Entry fees include a designated support boat, kayak/kayaker, observer, and GPS tracking. Swimmers are requested to bring one or two (max.) crew persons older than 16 years to support them from their escort boat. Operation expenses have increased considerably this season. This is reflected by the higher entry fees.
