The open water swim takes place in a calm lake at the foot of the Estate with sights up to the castle, the swim is a multi lap swim. The swim is also perfect for those new to open water triathlon as you're never too far away from the lakes edge or your supporters. All competitors will be placed in start wave groups which will be confirmed closer to the date of the event.

Middle/Olympic/Sprint/Super Sprint Distance

1.9km Swim - Middle Distance

1.5km Swim - Olympic Distance

750m Swim - Sprint Distance

400m Swim - Super Sprint

↠ Start times are based on your estimated swim time starting with the slowest swim times.

↠ The swim will be in the estate’s lake.

↠ Laps of the lake will be confirmed nearer the time judging the water levels.

↠ Competitors need to be in the swim holding area 15 mins before your start time changed & ready to collect your timing chip.

↠ The swimmers around you will be of a similar standard and you will be in a wave of no more than 25 people.

↠ You will be told which direction to swim in, on entering the lake. On completion of your laps (tbc - depending on water levels), exit from the Ramp/Pontoon marked Swim Out.

↠ There will be no changing facilities. Follow the signs for the transition area (this is a 350m run on grass) and find you bike.

↠ The surface is grass and will be cleared and checked for sharp objects but if you want to wear shoes for this section then place your shoes around Swim Exit.

All distances (other than the Super Sprint) is a multi-lap course with a challenging undulating profile through the idyllic vale of Belvoir villages. There are one or two sharp and gradual inclines that prove a good test of mental, physical strength and determination but you will be well rewarded with a route of discovery through quaint villages and quiet country roads.

The Super Sprint bike leg is one undulating lap.
