The Bay Aquathlon Series - Race 2

The Bay Aquathlon Series takes place in Swansea Bay, offering a multi-sport experience that combines open water swimming with running. This event is the second of a three-part series held during the summer months. Participants have the option to enter individual races or compete in the full series.

The competition features three different distances to accommodate various experience levels:

  • Sprint distance: A 750m open water swim followed by a 5k run.
  • Mini Sprint distance: A 400m open water swim followed by a 5k run.
  • Super Sprint distance: A 400m open water swim followed by a 3k run.

The race starts on the beach adjacent to Secret's Bar and Kitchen. The event infrastructure includes a registration area and a transition zone for equipment. Before the start, all participants must attend a mandatory race briefing followed by an acclimatisation period in the water. An award ceremony is held following the conclusion of the races.

The event is open to entrants aged 15 and over. Relay options are available for all three distances, allowing participants to compete as part of a team. Parking is available at the Recreation Ground Car Park and other surrounding areas, where charges may apply. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
