Event information
400m Pool Swim
↠ Start times are based on your estimated 400m swim time with the slowest swimmers start first from 8:15am.
↠ The swim will be in a 4 lane, 25m pool. Competitors need to be in the swim holding area 15 mins before your start time changed & ready to collect your timing chip. The swim marshal will group the swimmers into waves, with 4 swimmers to a wave and each wave starting every 2-3mins.
Please note: It is the swimmer’s responsibility to count their lengths. We will have a marshal randomly checking and counting lengths.
↠ The swimmers around you will be of a similar standard, but if you need to overtake then please check the opposite direction as there may be up to 4-5 swimmers per lane and we don’t want any collisions!
↠ You will be told which direction to swim in, on entering the lane. On completion of your 16 lengths, exit through the marked fire exit There will be no changing facilities. Follow the signs for the transition area (this is a 150m run on paths & grass, please be careful) and find you bike.
↠ The surface is tarmac & grass & will be swept clean, but if you want to wear shoes for this section then place your shoes outside the fire exit on exiting the pool. Swim hats are not supplied and are optional.
↠ The weather could be very cold for all competitors on race day whatever time you are starting. Competitors will be allowed to leave a cycling jacket/gilet and gloves outside the fire exit if they wish but please be mindful of your start time, so we don’t have 300+ items of clothing on the pool exit.

Organiser's description
Forecast to be one of the most popular pool based events in the Midlands.
Building on our reputation as having one of the most supportive and inclusive cultures within the multisport events industry, we really wanted to add a special venue that would act as the PERFECT venue for that purpose!
The Uppingham School Sports Centre was built in 2010 and has outstanding facilities - a immaculate 25metre pool with pool side viewing! You’ll be swimming right next to your support crew cheering you on! Clean, warm changing facilities, toilets including baby changing and accessible.
The Bike route takes you on a fun adventure rolling through out the surrounding quaint villages around Uppingham, taking in the sights of the iconic Welland Viaduct and views for miles and miles!
Your Support crew will love seeing all the action, creating an epic BUZZING atmosphere with the Event Hub, Transition and most of the run course all being central and within touching distance of you smashing your way around the course…heading towards….
👊🏻A Gladiator type Stadium FINISH!! Running right down the centre of all the action commanding a riotous roar from the crowd all around you and on the Elevated viewing point behind the Finish Gantry 🥳
This will be a superb event for the first timer (at each of our event we have over 200 first timers with Prizes for those competing in their first ever triathlon), whilst the immaculate facilities, stunning bike course and distance makes for an excellent start to the season for the seasoned athlete.
Clubs, relay teams, families and Individuals of all abilities are encouraged to take part in this challenge, take home a finisher's medal and a load of memories you'll never forget.
