AQUATICS: Kovsie Aquatics Open Water Swim (Cancelled)

January 19

This event was cancelled

Message from the Organiser

Dear Participant,
We regrettably inform you that the decision has been made to cancel the Kovsie Aquatics Open Water event at Maselspoort this Sunday, 19 January 2025.
After receiving our second set of water quality results and consulting with various role players, we concluded that it would be in the best interest of all parties involved to call off this year’s event. The recent lack of rain in the area has had an impact on water quality and the organising committee did not want to place any participant at risk.
This is the first time in over 30 years that we have had to make such a decision, and we take pride in always having prioritised the health and safety of our swimmers. We acknowledge the loyalty of the local swimming community to the event and the importance of it on the annual Open Water Calendar and apologise sincerely for any disappointment and inconvenience caused.
The Local Organising Committee (LOC) will be in contact with all entered swimmers regarding possible alternatives for Midmar Mile seeding, as well as refund procedures. We ask for your patience and understanding as we work through these details.
Thank you for bearing with us during this unprecedented situation.
Best regards, The Organising Committee
There will be an entry fee of R60 to the Maselspoort resort.
