Open water swim events for triathletes: build your swim with UltraSwim 33.3

Most triathletes train the swim in a pool and then wonder why race day feels so different. UltraSwim 33.3 closes that gap. Four days of varied open water swimming builds the aerobic base, the sighting confidence and the pack swimming skills that transfer straight to a triathlon start, in water warm enough to focus on technique not survival. You come back with a bigger engine, calmer starts and a swim leg you look forward to rather than fear. It is the most effective swim block you can put in your triathlon year.

Many triathletes who are for the moment unable to run or ride through injury, also come to UltraSwim 33.3 to fill that void - a unique swimming challenge that will also boost their in water confidence before they return to their next triathlon season.

Four days of real open water does more for your triathlon than months in the pool. When you come to your triathlon, the swim will feel easy! As a triathlete you already have an advantage. Having the fitness required and experience of open water swimming, you're already half way there. We can help you with your training and offer free technique analysis to our ULTRA and ULTRA +/++ clients through one of our Affiliate coaches.  

Six to ten kilometres a day for four days gives you more open water time in a single week than most triathletes get in a season, and an engine that carries your whole race.

Just getting to the start line is already 90% of the work. We know (because we’ve seen it first hand) that with the right preparation, anyone can become a 33.3 Finisher. And you know what, even if you don’t make finish line of every single swim, you’ll be enormously respected for what you’ve achieved, regardless. Swimming might be a ‘solo’ activity, but at our events, it is more like a team sport, with everyone helping each other out and supporting one another.

This is not a dry training camp. It is four days in a warm water destination, swimming an iconic distance with a community of like minded athletes, staying in a luxury hotel with everything organised. You train harder than you would alone because the format and the people pull you along, and you come home with a transformed swim and the kind of experience you will talk about for years. Many triathletes return year after year, treating it as the cornerstone of their season.

Sighting, drafting and pacing only improve in real open water. Four warm water days give you the repetitions to make them automatic by your next race.

The crowded, anxious triathlon swim start is the opposite of how UltraSwim 33.3 feels. Every group swims with two safety boats and two kayaks alongside, GPS tracking and on water feeding, with a medical and physio team on site, so you can rebuild your confidence in calm, fully supported open water.

You will be fully taken care of so all you have to focus on is the swimming.  

Watch how the multi day format transforms the swim leg, from nervous starts to confident open water cruising in warm water.
