SAMOA SWIM SERIES 2013 – 3 Great Swims in 3 Days NZ$269*

Welcome to the 2013 Swims. We are again offering 3 Great Swims in 3 Days! The swims were carefully selected to fit with schedule and tides, and a balancing act between travel to sites and your enjoyment. Two of the swims, Tafatafa and Mulivai, are on the South Coast that was devastated by the 2009 Tsunami. The popular Falefa Falls swim returns to challenge us all - swimmers and organisers alike. In addition to the 3 official swims there are two unofficial swims to Manono Island and the Apia Harbour Demonstration Swim at the Grand Opening of the Series. It is going to be a great week in Samoa - three fantastic events all in a week - with the 5km / 10km International Open Water to follow the Swim Series and the inaugural Samoa Half Iron on Sat, 10th Aug - come join us at the Action Capital of the Pacific.
