Ultimate Kids Tri - Overall Course
Ultimate Kids Tri - Cycle & Run
The freshwater lake has no currents and will have lane rope, as used in swimming pools, marking the 25 metre course the children have to swim. The lane rope is also there as an aid should any child feel the need to stop and hold on to something. There are safety marshals and canoeists in the water to look after the children.

They will be started at 20 second intervals in the lake so there are no mass starts. The swim course is very straight forward and there will be a verbal briefing prior to each child starting.

A swim cap will be given to each child and must be worn. Children may use their own swim cap instead if preferred.

The cycle course is fairly flat, on grass and entirely within the grounds of Dearnford Lake. The course is completely post & taped making it easy to follow. Children will not be allowed to take part without a bike helmet.

The run is fairly flat and entirely on grass. The course again is completely post & taped and within the grounds of Dearnford Lake.
