The 5 Bridges Swim at Hamilton Gardens, Hamilton, New Zealand, is organised by Hamilton Masters.

First starting more than 80 years ago in 1939, the 7.1km current-assisted point-to-point river swim is a favourite among swimmers.

Swimmers will start the picturesque swim at Hamilton Gardens, before swimming along the Waikato River, under five bridges before finishing up at Ann Street Park for a photo-worthy finish through the chute.

There will be a variety of spot prizes throughout the day thanks to the swim’s generous sponsors.

The first male and female will receive a prize and get their names engraved on the iconic event cup.
