SUMMARY:The Thames Marathon - Long Distance Swimming Event
DESCRIPTION:Long Distance Swimming Event\nThe Thames Marathon\, now in its 8th year\, is a 14km long-distance challenge swim from Henley-on-Thames to Marlow. It covers a beautiful stretch of the Thames and has become one of open water swimming’s most prestigious marathon swims. The swim is split into 4 sections. Swimmers will be required to exit the water at the 3 locks – Hambledon at 4k\, Hurley at 10k and Temple at 11.8k – where food and drink will be available. \nWhere does the swim start and finish?\nIn 2018 the Thames Marathon 14km swim will start at The Leander club\, Henley and finish at Higginson Park\, Marlow. \nWhere should I park for the event?\nThe official car parking will be in Henley\, at Wargrave Meadows\, Wargrave Rd. From here you will take the short walk to the start venue at Leander club. After you have finished your swim and had some food and collected your finisher medal\, we will transport you back to Henley. Supporters will be able to pay on the day to use the coach service. \nIs there other parking in Henley?\nYes\, there are plenty of public car parks in Henley and they are free on Sundays. The return coach will only drop off at the official car park. \nThames Marathon – Long Distance Swimming Event\nHow will my bag get to the end?\nWe will transport one small bag (3-4kg) for each swimmer. We will tag your bag for identification purposes\, and have it waiting for you at the finish area. We try and be careful but accidents do happen -please don’t use your best bag as we can’t be held responsible for any damage suffered in transit. \nCan I swim in a team with a group of friends?\nAbsolutely\, in fact we encourage it. The more people who swim together and look out for each other\, the safer the event is. If you wish to swim with friends\, please make sure that you all enter the same wave. \nWill I be able to wear a tow float?\nIn 2018 all swimmers will be required to use a tow float and are advised to get used to swimming with one before the event. Selkie Swim Co have some available. \nHow will you ensure that those who want to do solo swims are able to do so safely?\nWe have a fully approved safety plan that ensures coverage across the full course throughout the event. In addition ALL swimmers will be required to use a tow-float at the 2018 event. \nCan I swim non – wetsuit?\nWe do have a small number of non-wetsuit places available. . This is to minimise the risk to our safety plan. Wetsuits are important for retaining heat and providing buoyancy. If you would like a non-wetsuit place your application will be assessed by the events team for approval. Our decision is final on wetsuits and no discussion can be entered into. We advise swimmers to be prepared to wear a wetsuit if asked\, on the day. \nNon-wetsuit places have now been allocated for 2018 and a waiting list is in operation \nHow many feed stops will there be ?\nThere will be 3 feed stops in 2018 – one at each lock: Hambleden (4km)\, Hurley (10km) and Temple (11.8km) \nWhat food will be available at the feed stops?\nWe will provide a bit of everything\, including bananas\, energy bars\, energy drinks\, water\, some chocolate\, sweets\, and some salty snacks. A couple of the stops will also have hot drinks. \nHow will the start work?\nThe pink wave\, for faster swimmers that wish to race against the clock\, will go off first. The remaining waves will go off at 20 minute intervals (timetable subject to change). \nHow should I choose which wave to enter?\nFaster swimmers that wish to swim against the clock\, and have a 1500m pool time of 25 minutes or less should select the pink wave. \nOther swimmers should select either the blue or the green wave. In 2018 both of these waves will be of mixed ability. If you wish to swim with a group\, make sure you all select the same wave. The BLUE WAVE is now SOLD OUT. If you are not a pink wave swimmer\, please select the green wave. \nThe first (pink) wave will set off at 7am\, with approximately 20 minutes in between the waves. These timings are provisional and are subject to change. \nWe would recommend that if you are not presently able to complete a 1500m swim in under 45mins it might be as well to target a shorter event and then build for the 2019 Thames Marathon. \nAre there toilets on the course?\nThere are toilets at the start at Leander club\, and at the finish at Higginson Park. We are aiming to have a toilet stop at one of the food stations as well. \nCan supporters walk the route?\nThe route is walkable\, by following The Thames Path. Download the route here – Thames Marathon Walking Route. \nIt is also possible to cycle the route\, although there are a large number of kissing style gates where you may have to lift your bikes to get through. \nCan I talk to fellow swimmers in advance of the event?\nDefinitely\, we have set up Henley Swim Chatter as a facebook forum\, where you are able to discuss anything with fellow swimmers from nutrition and training tips to transport to the event on the day. There is also a facebook event page with all the latest information.

SUMMARY:The Wales Triathlon 2019
DESCRIPTION:The Wales Triathlon Cymru has become a favourite amongst athletes of all abilities. The middle distance course is fairly fast\, with a very sheltered out and back swim in Fishguard bay. The bike leg starts with a very fast rolling road into and around St Davids\, then turns back towards Mathry\, before heading into St Davids for the final time and straight back to Fishguard. \nThe run has two real hills\, the rest is very fast and flat\, and is stunning as it follows the coastal path. The sprint event follows parts of the same course. We have camping available onsite for you to make a weekend out of it.

DESCRIPTION:The Bali Ocean Swim is another beautiful GSS swim that follows the ever-growing trend of excellent open water swims in exotic and exciting locations. \nA province of Indonesia\, Bali is also known as the Island of the Gods and for good reason. This island paradise is covered by lush jungle\, rolling hills\, volcanic mountains\, terraced rice patties\, beautiful beaches and some of the most beautiful snorkeling and diving in the world. It’s of little wonder why Bali quite consistently wins a variety of different travel awards. The race is specifically located in near Kuta\, the known as a surfing mecca for many tourists. \nThe race itself is hosted by the Bali Sports Foundation\, a charity that aims to improve the lives of children in Indonesia through the power of sport and play for development\, health and peace. Proceeds from the race go to providing funding for a water and swimming safety program for disabled children and youth in Bali. There’s a little something for everyone with a 1.2km\, 5km and 10k distance available. The course is well-marked and swimmers swim around buoys as well as traditional Indonesian boats that also provide a convenient place for a feed in the longer distances. \nIf you’ve been waiting for an excuse to go on an adventure to one of the most beautiful islands on the planet then the Bali Ocean Swim is your chance!

SUMMARY:Bell Rock Adventure Swim
DESCRIPTION:Open Water Swim Adventure Event organised by Pete Wilby Triathlon. \nThe BELL ROCK SWIM ADVENTURE is a fantastic season opener. A real rugged bit of coastline and a visit to the places you simply can’t get to without a boat. The beauty of this short 2km adventure is that you are in the water with some amazing sights. You will be swimming with seals and small fish and will likely see shrimps\, lobsters and shellfish along the bottom. \nThe route begins at Maidencombe beach (a pay and display carpark is at the top of the cliffs. There is a five-minute walk down the steps to the beach). You will meet the team on the beach where we will stow on the boat’s your small essentials such as flip flops a warm top and drinks. Before getting in we will provide a short safety briefing and route plan. \nThe swim heads out and around the rocky outcrops\, staying close to the shore and picking up a heading on Bell Rock (named for its shape). You will find a small channel around the back of the rock\, just wide enough to swim through. The route goes past Watcombe beach and then we get the chance to peer into Watcombe caves. The epic SWIM ADVENTURE finishes at Oddicombe beach\, which can be easily recognised for its Victorian style and venicular railway going up the cliff. \nAfter arriving at Oddicombe\, all swimmers will be offered a warm drink before we take the boats back to Maidencombe where the adventure began. \n
