Event
The Midweek Aquathlon is a continuous two-stage race organised by The Bridge Events Dartford at DA1 5PR. The format includes an open-water swim in the south lake followed by a multi-lap run around the lakes. There are five race dates in the series: 13 May, 10 June, 8 July, 12 August and 9 September. Entry fees for the races are offered in the range of £15 to £17. The field is limited to 40 participants for reasons of water safety.
Practical information
Entrants must have prior open-water swimming experience and are required to wear a bright swimming cap. Competitors who feel unwell are asked not to take part. If a swimmer gets into difficulty they should roll onto their back and raise one arm to attract assistance. Exiting the lake may be slippery and extra care is advised. Car parking is available at the Beacon Pub free of charge and is a short walk to registration and the start; club members are asked to use the normal car park. Swimming in the lakes is prohibited outside organised events and authorised open-water training sessions; unauthorised swimmers may be asked to leave and barred from the site and future events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
