It was a great experience with friends and the organisation was excellent. Thank you so much for the opportunity and the marshalls were all so supportive. Hope to be back next year.

We had an amazing tour of the rocks, despite the weather not allowing us to do the full exploration, we were still able to get out and onto the rocks. Our swim guide was very knowledgeable and the whole team welcomed us on arrival. The rib ride out and back was great fun.

Very well organised event, felt safe from start to finish. Very well done to all as this was their first Harry’s Rocks swim challenge.

Great venue and goal. Must admit that I struggled on the day and maybe was a bit under the weather beforehand. I've done plenty of other swims like this and enjoyed them. Was slightly hypothermic at the end but was looked after well at the end by the first aider. The event was very well run and organised.
