Over more than a decade our teams have achieved outstanding results incl:
Fantastic fitness returns from swimming/running combo
Improved confidence in swimming, water fitness and ability
A new relationship with the ocean built on expert tuition in the surf
Weight loss and improved muscle tone. Just in time for your best ever Christmas photos.
An overwhelming sense of achievement as you conquer a new challenge, improve on last year or do something you just weren't sure you could and
A new energy and motivation for your fitness that you can share amongst a great team.
What’s your commitment?
The 3 Points Challenge is a tough race, so preparation counts. Our whole group training timetable with 27 sessions will be available and some of the most important sessions are at North Curl Curl on a Saturday each week from October 24 until the race on Saturday December 5 2026.
BUT FIRST there is our flat-water fitness foundation session at Balmoral on Saturday October 17. It starts with an hour-long 6:30am close-to-shore ocean swim session & run followed by a 7:30am run and strength session at Balmoral.
THEN we have our regular weekly Sunday morning Swim Squad at Balmoral Baths diving in at 6:15am for swimming training and tuition for an hour before a quick change into our regular 7:15am Level Up session for one of the great double ups.
6 x North Curl Curl Surf Club Sessions with water Safety and expert Surf Swimming tuition.
Our mid-October sessions help get you ready for the 6 Saturdays @ 7am at North Curl Curl Beach with Expert Tuition and Water Safety in the Surf provided by NCCSLSC. That surf session is followed by an 8am swim/run session working around the ocean pools in the area. The 7am North Curl Curl Back-to-Back sessions are on: October 24 & 31, then November 7, 14, 21 & 28.
3 Swims Challenge at Balmoral – Sunday 29 November
On Sunday November 29 we have our 3 Swims Challenge, which is a handicapped event starting in Balmoral Baths with a run over to Chowder Bay to swim there and run back and then a final swim at Balmoral before finishing with a 1km sand run.
NCCSLSC Surf Swimming Sessions Rates
The Saturday Sessions at North Curl Curl will be $600 for 6 sessions from October 24 to November 28.
If you can’t commit to all 6, the casual rate will be $120 per 2-hour session at North Curl Curl. There is a session size limit of 10, so casual sessions may or may not be available!
North Curl Curl Surf Club Says if it’s Safe to Swim.
The Surf Club will be working for our safety, and if they decide that it’s not safe to train due to the prevailing surf conditions, we will not be going in the surf that day. Unfortunately, that will be bad luck and no refunds are possible. However, we will be holding training in the safest ocean pools or focusing on our running that day.
Group Training Sessions focused on the 3 Points Challenge Preparation Program
But wait, that is not all. We are adding 3 Points Challenge Preparation focused sessions to our timetable, and not just on a Saturday. We will be adding opportunities in the water as separate sessions at Balmoral and Freshwater and also as extension opportunities before or after existing sessions. These will be available by appointment and charged at our regular group training rates. Better still for regular clients, if you have make-ups to do, you can tick them off in these sessions. You can see the possibilities in our timetable.
