Fiji Swims, one of the most beautiful swims in the world, is offering one lucky swimmer in the USA the chance to win five nights (twin room) free accommodations in beautiful Fiji (so you can bring a spouse, coach or friend) to compete in its 1K, 2.7K or 18K swims on August 13th and 15th.
Fiji Swims features one of the most stunning marathon swims in the world: the 18K Fiji Swim – Sofitel Fiji Resort & Spa to Beachcomber Island Relay or Solo Swim held on August 13th. The Fiji Swims also includes two solo swims to choose from: the 2.7K Fiji Swim – Beachcomber Island or the 1K Fiji Swim – Treasure Island to Beachcomber Island.
Swimmers enjoy safely swimming over a fringing coral reef teeming with tropical fish.
Another highlight of the Fiji Swims is the opportunity to meet and swim alongside Olympic greats including Australia's legendary Shane Gould (3 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze in 1972) and Graeme Brewer (1980 bronze medalist). Previous Olympian participants in the Fiji Swims include Natalie Coughlin, Dana Vollmer, Alison Wagner and Debbie Meyer (USA), Danyon Loader (New Zealand) and Murray Rose, John Konrads and Neil Rogers (Australia).
Fiji Swims has Fiji Rules that are fitting for this laid-back nation: the 18K Fiji Swim - Sofitel Fiji Resort & Spa to Beachcomber Island Relay race rules allow as many swimmers as safely can fit on the support boat and the length of time of each swimmer can be different, while those in the 1K Fiji Swim – Treasure Island to Beachcomber Island are allowed to wear fins.
For a chance to win, send an email to david@bathtubproductions.com expressing your interest and including your telephone number and listing of the ocean swims you have done in the past few years by July 21st. The lucky winner will be chosen at random and notified by email on July 22nd.
The 18K race can be done solo, duo or as a team of five, with race organizers able to partner the lucky winner with a team with swimmers of similar ability. The lucky swimmer will have to pay their share of the half-day charter boat that will be arranged by the race organizers.
The prize includes the following:
· 3 nights free twin share accommodation and complimentary breakfast at the Sofitel Fiji Resort and Spa for August 11th, 12th and 15th.
· 2 nights free twin share accommodation and complimentary breakfast at Treasure Island Resort for the nights of August 13th and 14th.
· free race registrations for the swims on August 13th and 15th.
It is possible to stay in Fiji longer if you wish to purchase additional nights accommodation.
By emailing to enter the competition, you agree that if you win the prize listed above, you will compete in the races on August 13th and 15th and will purchase your own airflight to Fiji by July 24th in order to secure the prize. If not, the prize it will be forfeited and offered to another person who entered the draw. All other costs including flights, transfers, taxes, insurance and additional meals are at the expense of the prize winner.
Race organizers suggest flying to Fiji on Air Pacific with airfares a particularly good value at the moment.
