Mana Fiji SwimFest’s Really Cool Hydration Station
Hydration stations (feeding stations) take all forms in the open water swimming world from floating pontoons to tables on the shore. But few match the unique beauty of the hydration station at the Mana Fiji SwimFest 10 km. After swimmers follows the swim course over shallow reefs, over drop-offs, and across deeper channels around a sandbar, guided by escort paddlers and power craft equipped with drinks to keep swimmers hydrated, there is also a hydration station on the sandspit prior to the swim back to Mana’s North Beach.
