Swim Smart 1. Prepare for Race Conditions

Race day should not be your first exposure to an open water swim. Make sure some of your training replicates real race conditions, including water temperature, proximity to other swimmers and wearing a wetsuit if needed.

2. Race in Shorter Events

Being properly trained is the best way to reduce anxiety. If possible, race in shorter events and clinics to prepare yourself for open water conditions.

For extra guidance, talk to a coach or your local triathlon club.

3. Study the Course

It's important to prepare yourself mentally as well as physically prior to race day. Thoroughly review the race website and pre-race communication to familiarize yourself with the course.

Every body of water is different, so you’ll need to educate yourself on water current and surf conditions.

Study the event timetable to plan for proper arrival and preparation.

4. Ensure Heart Health

As an athlete in training, you should take the proper steps to assess your health with your physician.

Health experts suggest a 12-step screening process for competitive athletes. This includes a physical exam as well as an assessment of your family history and personal heart health.

5. Pay Attention to Warning Signs

If you experience chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, light-headedness or blacking out while training, consult your doctor.

6. Don’t Use New Gear on Race Day

Focus on controlling as much as you can on race day.

You should never race in equipment you haven’t trained in – this is not the time to test new gear.

Make sure your wetsuit fits properly and that your goggles, swim cap and other accessories work properly.

Prepare for the unexpected with backups of all your gear.

7. Warm Up on Race Day

18

Arrive early enough on race day for a proper warm-up prior to the start, preferably in the water.

If you aren’t able to warm up in the water, spend between 5 and 10 minutes getting loose.

Be sure to do some cardio activity, such as a light jog, to increase circulation and prep your muscles.

8. Check Out the Course

Get comfortable with the course by checking out water conditions, the swim entry and exit layouts, along with turn buoy locations.

Identify basic navigation points so that you know what you are swimming towards.

9. Start Easy – Relax and Breathe

Don’t race at maximum effort from the start.

Relax and focus on proper breathing technique as you settle into a sustainable pace.

10. Be Alert and Ask for Help

In a race setting always stop at the first sign of a medical problem.

If you or a fellow athlete needs help, just raise your arm to alert a lifeguard or safety boat.

Feel free to hold on to a static object like a raft, buoy or dock.

As long as you don’t use it to move forward, you won’t face disqualification.

Race rules allow for competitors to stop or rest at any time during the swim.

The swim cap provided at the registration is for safety, and must be worn throughout the swim. Should you be in any kind of need; lifeguards will be in the water to help you.

The water temperature in the harbour is expected to be around 15-19 °C. Therefore wetsuits will be mandatory for the swim.

Competing in an IRONMAN race may cause serious damage to the body. Please bear in

mind that the right hydration before and during the race can be vital for your success in the race.

Remember that you race at own risk, and that the race organizers cannot be held responsible for any injury, damage - or in extreme cases, death - during the race.

Even though the 5150 event is considered a short distance endurance event so we advise all participants to only start the race, if they have trained well prior to the event, feel fit and don’t have any physical problems – especially regarding the vital organs. If you have had problems with irregular heart rhythms in training, we would highly recommend that you see a specialist for a health check prior to the race.
