The Swim
The swim goes directly out from the bank and around a buoy about 50 metres into the dam. Expect a crush at the first and second buoys.
Water Quality
The water is relatively clean but not clear. Being a small dam, the water quality is easily affected by rainfall. This also has an effect on the volume of water in the dam.
Layout and Facilities
Leisure Lakes is a smallish dam normally used for cable water skiing. There are a number of
structures in the water. The facilities are good, with grass to sit on and trees for shade,
permanent change rooms and ablution facilities, and a fully stocked tuck shop. Hot food
and drinks are also available. Parking is available with a short walk to the swim. Being close
to Johannesburg, the event draws a large crowd. Registration takes place close to the start
area.
Event Administrator's Note
The recent changes to the course layout have greatly improved the event making for a
much reduced crush at the start. Being so close to Johannesburg, this event attracts local
residents who do not have to sacrifice an entire day for the swim.
Fast foods and refreshments on sale.
T-SHIRT ORDER
- Your specially designed T-shirt, printed in full colour for the Makhulu Swim can be
