Route information
**The Swim
**
**400m (8 lengths)

This heated outdoor pool is the perfect place for newcomers to dip their toes into multi-sport events, or for seasoned aquathlon vets to get some serious speed. The swim will be 8 lengths of the outdoor heated pool. Swimmers will start in lane one (as indicated by the marshal on the day) and swim up one side of the lane and back down the other. They will then dip under the lane rope into lane two, and so on. After 400m (8 lengths) they will leave the pool and head into transition. Tumble turns are permitted, however care must be exercised at all times.
