- The times noted for the 5K race are out of the normal range for the race (they are about 10-20 minutes faster than expected). This could be due to multiple factors (e.g. course length under 5,000 km, current on course, etc.). The times listed are those presented on the Swimming South Africa website's [http://swimsa.org/?p=2297 report on the events].
