That's Not a Swim
Swim as far as you possibly can in one single swim, indoors or outdoors. The longer you swim, the more tickets you earn.
Once it's installed, find That's Not a Swim in the Challenges feed.
One swim. Go long.
Pick your water, start your watch and swim as far as you can in one continuous activity. The further you get, the more tickets you earn.
Indoor and outdoor swims both count. Track it on a GPS-enabled wearable or device with heart rate recording and log it in the Harry's app. Beat it later in the window and your new swim replaces your old score.
Swim further. Earn more.
Every swim earns tickets into Harry's monthly prize draw, and the further you go, the more you earn. The top five on the leaderboard pick up bonus tickets on top.
Bonus tickets land when the challenge closes. Live leaderboard and draw details are in the app.
One activity. Start to finish.
Swim it in one go between 6am AEDT Sun 18 Oct and 6pm AEDT Mon 18 Jan. Any of these and your swim won't count.

Some challenges have no finish line. You get one continuous activity, a run, a ride or a swim, and your score is simply how far you went before you stopped.
That changes how you prepare. Pace for the long haul, not the first hour. Plan your water and food before you start, because one continuous effort means one long day out, and running out of fuel ends more big efforts than tired legs do.
It also suits everyone. A first-timer and a seasoned ultra athlete are both chasing the same thing: further than they've gone before.
- One continuous activity
- The whole distance in a single recorded effort, not several stitched together.
- Fuelling
- Eating and drinking during a long effort to keep your energy up.
- Personal best
- The furthest you've ever gone. The real target in a challenge like this.
