Keswick Mountain Festival Triathlon ~ Swim Course

Revised route because of low water level

Both swims are open water and I think that is is safe to assume that the water temperature will be below 14C which means that the wearing of wetsuits will be compulsory. If you only have a "shorty" type wetsuit you may use it, but I would strongly advise that you make the effort to acquire a full body swimming wetsuit.

The swim start line will be between the buoy and the end of the second pier. Please only warm up in the area behind the start line and not down the course.

You can either swim to the start from the exit beach in Crow Park (100m) or walk down to the Foreshore. Allow about 10 minutes.

There will be a rescue launch and kayaks situated around the swim route. If you need assistance relax and wave your arm from side to side towards the nearest craft. If it's a kayak hold on to its front or rear and allow then to tow you to safety. And remember you won't sink in a wetsuit.

The course is subject to change depending on conditions on the day.
