There are a number of public car parks in both Whitby and Sandsend we will provide more information in your race entry pack. Please note that the Whitby Regatta gets very busy so allow plenty of time to park.

I have only swam in lakes before can I take part?

We strongly recommend getting some sea swimming experience before taking part in this race as there could be currents and breaking waves to contend with.

What safety cover will there be on the day?

We have a brilliant team of volunteer safety crew on RIBs, kayaks and power boats, we also have marshals on the beach should you exit the race before the finish line. More details will be provided in your entry pack.

Why do I need to bring a swim buddy?

Both races are a point to point swim, ended at a different location to the starting point. your swim buddy will be responsible for your belongings on the day and bringing them to the finish line.

There is a seasonal dog ban in place on some stretches of the beach so we do not recommend bringing a dog.
