"I highly recommend this event to all ages, gender & fitness levels - it caters for everyone. Everytime you breathed or looked up there was a guy on a board, an IRB ensuring safety and the TV boat filming! It was amazing swimming with the Olympians & Shortland Street Stars!!"

"Again, I just wanted to say thanks for all the great events. You and your team put on far and away the best run events that I've entered - It's set the bar high for the UK event organisers! And I am a much stronger swimmer now as a result of competing in your events. See you in a few years time. Thanks"

"Re The Capital Classic 2012: it was really great having the race start from Oriental Bay, and having a straightforward course, and a couple of wave starts for the 1000m - it made for a much better swimming experience compared to previous ones - well done! And it was really fantastic having the results available so quickly...although I am still puzzled how my "official" time was 5 minutes faster than the time showing on the board at the finish line (I am not complaining!). Well done for another fantastic event, am thinking of "going long" next year!"
