The Swim

Where the Lagoon Meets Valentine's Day

The Strandloper Open Water Swim takes place on the Langebaan Lagoon — one of South Africa's most celebrated open water venues. Protected, flat, and turquoise, the lagoon is the ideal setting for swimmers of all levels.

Taking place the morning after the Blue Lagoon Triathlon, the Strandloper is a Valentine's Day tradition. Come for the swim alone, or make a full weekend of it — triathlon on Saturday, open water swim on Sunday.
