Safety & support
These are of the upmost importance to Brutal Events and you will feel supported by the crew on the water’s edge and while you are in the lake.

Relaxed & Low key
This is a tough swim but super chilled and relaxed. Everyone is here to help you reach whatever distance you are aiming for.

The cut offs are as follows:

2.5k - 2 hours
5k - 3 hours
10k - 5 hours

Water temperature in Lake Padarn is likely to be between 17 and 20 degrees depending on rainfall during the days leading up to the event.

There will be trophies awarded to the 1st male / female in all 3 races and both categories (wetsuit and non-wetsuit)

We are aware of the planned works at Dinorwac Power Station over the next few years, but anticipate this will not impact on the race too much. Please be assured we will keep up to date with developments there.
