Langebaan Dash

On January 31, 2026, the MADSWIMMERS, in collaboration with Big Bay Events will be hosting the Langebaan MAD Dash We look forward to seeing you light up the Lagoon Relays yes, we can allow but would need to charge similar to individual cost per person. (Most of our costs are incurred in the number of boats transferring swimmers to the start) Registration is online www.bigbayevents.co.za scroll down towards the bottom of the home page where you will find links to UPCOMING SWIMS, follow the link for MAD DASH 7km & 12km both start at 4:30am There is a strong tidal current assisting swimmers, which will get stronger throughout the swim. It is compulsory for swimmers to have a swim float with a torch inserted into the drybag section. We provide support boats to guide and monitor the swimmers during the swim. Temperatures are subject to wind and prevailing weather conditions at the time of the swim and could be between 16 & 18 We will carry nutrition on the boats for swimmers and all other food will be for their account. Langebaan has an extensive amount of accommodation and swimmers could use any of the regular booking sites. Who we do this for? The Guild Cottage is an organization that provides a safe haven for girl survivors of sexual abuse, representing all demographics in South Africa. Sexual abuse is a pervasive issue in South Africa, affecting individuals from all cultural, religious, and socio-economic backgrounds. The girls are removed from their abusive circumstances and referred to Guild Cottage by the courts, where a team of experts provide appropriate therapy and support to help them heal. By donating any amount, no matter how small, you can make a significant difference in the lives of these girls. Please visit their website, http://guildcottage.org/, to learn more about the organization and to donate. Your contribution can help provide a better future for these survivors of sexual abuse.
