The design for the 45th Annual Waikiki Roughwater Swim t-shirt should incorporate the “spirit” of open water swimming in Hawaii as well as the magic of Waikiki. A simple, classic design is preferred. Elements may include any of the following: Diamond Head, the War Memorial Natatorium at the start, the Rainbow Tower at Duke Kahanamoku Beach at the Finish, the clean clear water and the abundant sea creatures such as Naia, Honu and the Humuhumunukuapuaa which are seen along the course. While the Waikiki Roughwater Swim is one of the most scenic open water swims in the world, it is also one of the most competitive and challenging swims as well.
