Ever dreamed of taking on the mighty Cook Strait? Not so keen on roaring waves, dangerous currents, and some of the world's most unpredictable weather?

Now's your chance to turn your swim workout into an unforgettable adventure, from the comfort of our lane pool right here at H₂O Xtream.

How it works

  • Log the number of lengths completed every time you visit us.
  • Collect a free swim combo at the 5km mark (200 lengths) – then keep going.
  • Spot prizes waiting along the journey, plus a grand prize for the first to cross the line!
