Recording your results
If you swim at a NOWCA venue such as Race Hub in official sessions then your swim data including the distance, time, temperature of your swim are recorded on your NOWCA profile after each swim. You can retrieve this data by logging in to your personal swim page where a record of your swims can be found. We suggest that you check that your data has been recorded properly after each swim as technical or human errors cannot be corrected.
You can also use a fitness watch or tracker such as a Garmin or on a fitness app to measure the distance/time of your swim. You may also record your swim details manually; at a swim venue they will likely provide you with information such as course distance or you can estimate it using google maps. These challenges rely on honesty and we expect all entrants to be honest with their own results.

You will need to use our Festive Swim online submissions form to inform us of your session details by 5th Jan 2021. We will need the date of your swim, the distance swam and how long you swam for. You can also submit the water temperature (optional). The form can be found both on the submissions page and also will be sent to you via email when you sign up and in a reminder email. The results table will be on the Festive Swim challenge page. The results position for the challenge is determined by distance swam. We would love you to share a photo of you or your results on our Facebook page!
