We know how stressful a first race can be…
‘Have I done enough training? Will I be the last person to finish? What do I need for the race?’
Here is a helpful guide to everything you need to know regarding the race and what you need to bring.

Excitement is building ahead of the UWTSD Swansea Triathlon with staff and students in training for the event to be held on May 28th 2023
Top Tip - Start with a sprint tri early in the season. Swansea is a good one to get your confidence up as the swim is in SA1 Dock which is a great environment as you don’t have to battle the seas tide and currents.
It’s important to keep your threshold swimming going over during the ‘off’ season. Below you find two swim sessions which will help you going into the winter months. Try these twice a week and record your times. You can adjust the rest times and distances according to your ability. Feel free to reach out to the coaches at Heathwood swimming in Cardiff for extra help or any questions you may have regarding swim sets or drills.
For most of us the open water swimming season is coming to an end or is basically over. In October the UK water temperature in the sea, lakes & reservoirs are dropping rapidly and where you were able to swim in 17 to 20 degrees its now more like 12 or 13oc.
