FAQs

Can someone else register me?
No, you MUST register yourself, on the morning of the race, with ID and Disclaimer.
When is the closing date for registration?
Registration closes is 2 weeks prior to the event, subject to availability.
Do I have to wear a wetsuit?
Yes, this is mandatory for all of our events and must cover the torso & thighs. It must NOT cover the hands and feet. British Triathlon Federation rules state that the wetsuit must not be thicker than 5mm in any position (including where a patch-repair has been made). Non-triathlon wetsuits are not designed to be flexible around the shoulders and arms and will take on extra water so it is recommended you race in a triathlon wetsuit.
Can I wear my own swim hat?
If you wish to wear two swim hats that is fine but the issued swim hat MUST be worn on top.
What stroke can I use?
Although BTF rules have now allowed backstroke we will not allow you to do this stroke. Front facing strokes only.
How is the start organised?
The swim start will be a mass start on your wave.
How early should I be at the swim start?
You should be at the swim start at least 15 minutes before the race to hear the briefing and find a suitable position.
How do you marshal/ensure safety on the swim?
There will be support boats and kayaks with qualified life-saving personnel on hand. There will be a race briefing prior to the start, but if you have problems in the water, it is standard procedure to lie on your back and raise your hand in the air, you will be picked out of the water as soon as possible.
