The 2012 Children's Aquathlon
The Children's Aquathlon will take place on Saturday 21st July.
There will be a variety of distances for children aged from 8 to 14 years. This event has safety at its very heart and will be great fun for young competitors and supporting Mums and Dads.
The race is intended as a fun & safe introduction to multi sport. All entrants 10 and under can race for free. All other entries £5 (includes Junior BTF fee of £1). Start times are from 9.30am (registration from 8.45am).
The race will be split into waves by age group and only one age group will be swimming at any one time. Wetsuits are not mandatory. The competitors must be comfortable swimming the distances below, continuously, as the course will be around buoys.
