Route

Taff Kids Course

The event takes place on North Beach, Tenby. The water will be cold (around 13 degrees). We have therefore opted for a short, sharp swim that the children can complete without having to worry about wetsuits. The safety and well being of every child is our overriding priority. 

Children will start on the beach and navigate a rectangular course: surf run out 10m, swim parallel to the beach and then a surf run back onto the beach. To allow the adults to stand, the deepest water will be around 1m 20.

Run Distances

4-5 year olds: 200m
6-11 year olds: 400m 

There are no routes as they will be mapped out on the day, due to tide changes.

Ever heard people saying, ‘You don’t need to use your legs in open water because you’re in a wetsuit’?? OR ‘You need to save your legs for the Bike & Run’??

Training the Swimming Energy systems Training the Swimming Energy systems

As triathletes were all familiar with the 5 training zones but in swimming, we like to make things more scientific and slightly more technical. This month I will be explaining the Swimming Energy systems with an easy-to-follow guide to help you put together your own swim session plan.

Top Tip - Start with a sprint tri early in the season. Swansea is a good one to get your confidence up as the swim is in SA1 Dock which is a great environment as you don’t have to battle the seas tide and currents.
