Aquathlon

All swimmers will start together with a waist deep water start to the southern end of the Swim Enclosure for a superb swim through the crystal clear water of Geographe Bay. Completing a loop swim with a series of right turns, swimmers remain within 200m of the coastline at all times (making for great viewing) whilst swimming over a sandy bottom kept alive with the fluttering of small fish in the shallows. Exit the water up the boat ramp and enter Transition #1 in the car park just 30m from the water’s edge.

Exit the transition area (TA) and run along the hard sandy beach for 450m before turning on to the fast coastal trail for another 1.5km before turning on to the coast where things get a bit more technical with a 1.5km rock hopping section through to the outskirts of Dunsborough. This section of coastline is made up of large granite boulders that are solid under foot and provide plenty of traction and interest to keep you full of smiles as you hop, step and jump your way along the course.

Once you have turned inland, you’ll be heading for home with a couple of hills leading you to the venue and through the finish line! Well done!
