Across the Lake Swim

This iconic open water swimming event is in its 49th year. This year there are three distances to choose from, catering for a wide range of swimming abilities – a 1km beginner loop, a 2km intermediate loop (both starting and finishing at Three Mile Bay) and the traditional 4.2km option (starting at Acacia Bay and finishing at Three Mile Bay).

Food and drinks will be available after the event and a prize giving will be held with a great range of spot prizes up for grabs.

The Lake Taupo Across the Lake Swim started back in 1963 and is Taupo’s longest running event, with thousands of swimmers taking part over the years. This iconic Taupo event is organised by the Taupo Moana Rotary Club and AC Baths and any proceeds from the day will go towards promoting water safety in the region.

The event is held late February providing those competing in the Ironman the opportunity to have a training run. The swim makes up part of the Erin Baker, Cameron Brown and TriTaupo 4 awards.

Online registrations close on Feb 21. Late entries will be available at the Great Lake Centre from 5 - 7pm on Feb 24.
