El Bahr Challenge Swim

TriClub Doha organises its swimming races with the support of Fit Island, with proceeds going to their chosen charity, Education Above All. The swims are held in the enclosed beach swimming area and supported by lifeguards. For open-water swimming fans and distance swimmers of all ages, this is a fantastic venue and we look forward to welcoming you.

Format

Rather than fixed distances, the challenge is to swim as many laps as you can in a two hour window; either solo or in teams of up to four people. All laps started before the end of the two hour window will count.

For younger swimmers and beginner adults who aren't confident over the longer swim, there is a straight-forward swim over a course following the shore-line.

Course

The adult course is a 500m lap with an Australian exit between each lap. Time is recorded from crossing the start to crossing the finish (chip time).
