Athlete briefing

Legend of the Lake Rotorua is a swimming event in Rotorua, New Zealand on open water surface. ATHRECS lists public facts so you can decide whether to enter — it is not the official athlete guide. Next date on ATHRECS is Sat, 27 Feb 2027.

An open-water or pool race. Cut-offs, wave starts and wetsuit policy come from the organiser. Never treat a listing time as a guarantee of water conditions.

Course maps, start lists, cut-offs, prices and eligibility live on the official page. We do not copy those documents. If a fact here disagrees with the organiser, the organiser is right.

Before you go

  • Entry confirmation and start time from the official page
  • Travel time to the venue, plus a buffer for parking or transit
  • Weather for the start hour in the local timezone
  • Wetsuit rule and water temperature
  • Cap, goggles and bright tow-float if required
  • Cut-off and safety-cover details

Venue and travel

Times are local to the venue (NZDT). Parking and transit are ATHRECS estimates unless a postcode lookup is stored — confirm on the official page.
